Does This Sound Like You?

➡️ You know you’re capable of more creatively, but you’re not attracting the editing clients or projects that match your potential.

➡️ You want meaningful, high-paying work where you’re trusted creatively, but you’re stuck doing low-paying projects with quick turnarounds.

➡️ You want to create edits with emotional impact, not just technically clean cuts.

➡️ Your current showreel reflects the work you’ve done, not the kind of work you want to be hired for.

You're not alone...

I Spent Four Years Editing Non-Stop—And Couldn't Land A Gig

Four years in, I was tired, burnt out and wanting to quit. My plan wasn’t working.

Even though I had been obsessed with editing for years, I was struggling to get past beginner-level skills.

The only tutorials I could find were focused on the technical side of editing, and I didn’t know how to bridge the gap between operating the software and creating edits that grabbed attention, built tension, or made an audience feel something.

Without guidance, I was stuck experimenting on my own, unsure if anything I was doing would make my videos stand out.

So I did something that scared me—I asked a real pro editor for help.

That decision changed everything. My new mentor kindly showed me how professional editors really worked.

He taught me to focus on emotion and story, not software.

He let me see behind the scenes of his real projects, and for the first time, I had a clear workflow to follow.

Through his expert guidance and feedback I finally understood how to use editing to tell impactful stories, and it was this that totally changed my career for the better.

I quickly learned how to use my edits to evoke emotion—achieving in weeks what had taken me four years to even attempt.

Within months, I edited a short film that won multiple festival awards.

Soon after that, I landed my first broadcast TV commercial—the start of my 20+ year career.

Here’s what I know now: if you’re putting in the work but not making progress, it’s not because you’re not talented.

It’s because the craft of editing is far more than technical skills, and you just need guidance on how to consistently incorporate emotion and story into your edits, and a process for presenting that work to your dream clients.

With real, high-end projects to edit, a repeatable pro process, and feedback from someone who’s been there, you can unlock your full potential—just like I did.

That’s why I built this program.

And my students are having the same breakthroughs that I did.

They're making emotion and story the foundation of every edit.

They're creating emotionally impactful, broadcast-ready edits that they're proud of.

And they're using their new work to land higher-paying, more creatively fulfilling editing jobs.

Polish every project to broadcast standards, craft a showreel that attracts high-end work, and take your editing career to the next level with guidance from a 20-year industry pro.

Emotion & Story First

Unlike courses that teach software, plugins, and effects, here you’ll master what separates amateurs from high-end pros: emotional storytelling.

Broadcast-Ready Workflow

Most courses focus on social media editing, but here you’ll learn the professional workflow I use on high-budget broadcast commercials and films that captivate audiences in theaters.

Tangible Results, Not Theory

Put theory into practice by working on high-end projects that are expertly crafted to showcase your skills on your own editing showreel.

Personal Editing Feedback

The fastest way to become an editor who can evoke emotion? Get detailed, personalized feedback from an industry pro on your own edits.

No Guesswork

Get your questions answered in real time on weekly live calls with a 20-year industry pro—accelerating your progress without guessing what to improve.

High-End Editing Style

Unlike other courses, I teach an editing style that opens doors most editors never reach. Master the foundations of emotional storytelling and a workflow to polish edits to broadcast standards—so you attract higher-paying, more creatively fulfilling projects.

How You’ll Transform Raw Clips Into A Showreel That Lands High-End Clients

The 5-Step Editing System that creates story-driven, emotionally-impactful, broadcast-ready videos that potential clients can’t ignore.

Step 1: Plan Every Edit Around Emotion And Story

Use my Emotion & Story Map Method to ensure that all of your edits have a strong emotional foundation, so you’ll start every project with clarity and confidence, knowing your story will resonate before you even touch your timeline. Then master the top pro techniques to bring out those emotions–rhythm, action, and my 4-step immersive sound design method.

Step 2: Apply Your Skills to High-End Spec Commercials

This is where theory turns into real skill. Instead of learning concepts in isolation, you apply them by editing high-end spec commercials designed to feel like real broadcast agency work. You'll practice putting emotion and story at the center of every cut, and create high-end projects that reflect the type of work you want to be hired for.

Step 3: Elevate Your Work With Professional Feedback

Doing the work is necessary, but it’s not enough on its own. In this step, your edits are workshopped with detailed, professional feedback so you understand not just what to change, but why it works. This is how you close blind spots, sharpen your decision-making, and learn to consistently take an edit from good to broadcast-ready—without guessing.

Step 4: Position Yourself Like a High-End Editor

Great work only matters if it’s presented clearly. In this step, you use your new high-end projects to create a focused showreel and refine your portfolio website so clients immediately understand your value. Instead of generic reels or scattered portfolios, you position your work like a high-end editor—building trust early and putting yourself in a position to land better, higher-paying projects.

Step 5: Land High-End Clients Using My Exact Systems & Templates

Use the exact client outreach system that made me over $1M from editing before the age of 30. You’ll know exactly who to contact, what to say, and how to follow up—so you can consistently land higher-paying, creatively fulfilling editing projects with the showreel and positioning you’ve built in this program.
