01 · Why edit here

We are a small room of editors who care about one number: how many people are still watching at the end. You get real footage, a named client and time to do the cut properly.

  1. 01

    One editor, one channel

    You own the channel you cut. No ticket queue, no anonymous pool.

  2. 02

    Notes that teach

    Every cut is reviewed by a lead editor against its retention graph, not against taste.

  3. 03

    Four day focus

    Friday is for your own reel, a course or a cut you want to try.
