What Our Students Say

 

Bri Merkel

“My creativity has just skyrocketed. It's helped me improve in a million more ways than I can even describe in one sitting.”

Craig Clitheroe

Australia

“This course is awesome. It's given me a life-changing set of skills as a filmmaker. There is nothing that compares to it.”

Erica Gianesini

Italy

“I strongly and passionately recommend this course to everyone. It helps you overcome all the creative barriers you have in a gentle and kind space.”

Where Are Your Weak Points?

As editors, we are often self-taught, which means we don't always know where our strengths and weaknesses lie. Maybe you're great with narrative structure but struggle with music editing. Or perhaps you're skilled at montages but find intercutting challenging. Directors, producers, and production companies are looking for highly skilled editors who don’t have gaps in their abilities. So, how do we identify and improve these gaps?

Zero Feedback in the Editing Industry

Feedback within the industry is non-existent. Clients rarely give in-depth assessments of your work.They either continue working with you on the next project or they never call again. Directors and producers expect you to know exactly how to edit their project. Our careers stall because the essential feedback for growth simply doesn't exist.

Struggling To Learn on Your Own

Self-directed learning can be frustrating, time-consuming, and overwhelming. Without the right discipline, structure, and consistency, it's easy to fall behind. Progress can feel slow, and your potential for advancement is often limited.

Over 12 months, this intensive course immerses you in a detailed and rigorous program that mirrors the demands of the industry, pushing you to unlock your full creative potential. You’ll master not just the techniques but also the storytelling skills necessary to excel in a professional editing environment.

Learning editing is like mastering a new language. In our highly structured 12-month course, you’ll focus on a new creative skill each month and apply it through hands-on editing of multiple sequences. With weekly masterclasses, live cutting sessions, and in-depth 1-2-1 feedback, you'll be fully immersed in the art of editing. As you advance through the Pro Editor Program, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of editing, filling in the gaps in your creative knowledge.

Pro Talent Needs a Pro Workload

Each month is carefully designed to balance learning with the pressures and deadlines of a professional editing environment, ensuring that you develop the discipline and efficiency required to thrive in the industry.

Learn, Edit, Feedback, Repeat

Each month, you master a new skill, building a portfolio of sequences and scenes for your showreel. The cycle continues with new challenges, and at the end of each term, you receive a grade along with detailed written feedback. After 12 months of pushing your creative limits, you graduate from the program with the full range of skills needed to become a pro-level editor.
