Who Should Apply

A fresh film editing graduate who is equally at home cutting a tense HBO drama teaser and a high-octane Batman action reel — who has broad entertainment knowledge, loves trailer editing across genres, and is excited by the idea of working across the widest range of global entertainment IP available to any single entertainment company. You are creatively versatile, technically precise, and genuinely knowledgeable about global entertainment.
