Letting Go is an 8-minute short film about David, a man who uses a Memory Device to relive moments with his late partner Nick. I’m cutting the first version myself, putting the clips together and laying in the transitions, and I’m looking for an editor to refine it on top of that: sharpening the pacing and polishing the transitions before the film goes to colour.

Period: Roughly three weeks from July 1. One kickoff session at the start, then one feedback round before we lock and hand over to the colour grader.

What do we offer?
What we offer

• A finished, festival-aimed short and an editing credit for your reel
• The script and storyboard are locked and I’ll hand you my first cut, so your time goes into shaping the film, not untangling footage
• An experienced crew to work alongside (DP, composer, colourist)
• Please note this is an unpaid collaboration.
