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 clips myself, putting them together and laying in the transitions, and I'm looking for an editor to come in on top of that and refine it: sharpening the pacing and polishing the transitions before the film goes to colour grading.

Time: Roughly three weeks from July 1. One kickoff session with me at the start, then a feedback round before locking it and handing it over to the colour grader.

What we offer
- A finished, festival-aimed short and a strong 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) on a film whose whole impact rests on the edit
- Please note this is an unpaid collaboration.

Type
semi-professional production

Location
Amsterdam or remote
