I’ve been a documentary editor for 20 years, and have English and Law (LLB) degrees, and a honours degree in film. I’ve done award winning feature docs and dozens of shorter films for tv (mainly Al Jazeera), non- profits, etc etc. I’m based in South Africa, and the industry is a bit slow at the moment. I’m keen to do remote editing work on video podcasts and documentary YouTube channels, but I find that world impenetrable. Does anyone have advice as to how to approach looking for that kind of work? With my academic background, I’m strong on story, character and content - but I’m not particularly flashy. I am also comfortable doing grade, mix, and basic graphics (especially when I can start off with a template).
I’d be grateful for any thoughts.
