Job description

We need a skilled editor to join our team for an independent music video project for an emerging Toronto-based artist. This is a dynamic, high-energy R&B track with a modern, artistic visual concept focusing on surreal dreamscapes and urban aesthetics. We're aiming for a polished, impactful look that highlights both performance and atmospheric storytelling. We shot on high-quality digital cinema cameras and are looking for someone who can craft a compelling narrative through precise pacing and creative visual effects integration (basic motion graphics/compositing experience is a plus, but not essential). Your key responsibilities will include ingesting footage, creating an assembly cut, managing revisions based on feedback, and delivering final masters for various platforms. We anticipate about 3 weeks of work for post-production, starting around the second half of October 2026. This is a great opportunity to contribute creatively to a visually ambitious project and collaborate with a passionate crew. Please submit your reel showcasing relevant music video or short-form narrative editing experience. Compensation is a backend percentage, discussed upon successful application. Toronto-based applicants preferred.
