Post-Production : Editing Jobs from Home by Arin Leviti

My research has found the same :/ I think that's just the majority of the work available. Narrative film is a small piece of that pie. Indie films also don't have extra money for someone they don't know, so they'll just edit it themselves or find someone locally.

A lot of the higher budget narrative film jobs I found required you to move to the area (LA, Atlanta, Orlando etc). If someone could tell me I'm wrong that would be awesome, because I'd love to do post remotely!!

Arin, word of mouth is very powerful.

Rachel Searcey I've just remembered Mandy.com, it was big back when I used to live in the UK. I'm not sure how popular it is in the US?

Warren Eig That's so true

@Wally You know where to find me! :)

Arin Leviti I had a bad experience with Mandy.com sending fake job listings. I even had a paid sub. But I live in a less populated area, and this was about 3 years ago. Maybe it would be better in a larger area like London or NY? I'm on ProductionHUB, IMDbPro, LinkedIn, the ISA etc and just keep my eye out. But it's all been corp/social media like you said.

Yep, yep, yep. Just chatted with an ad agency friend who is moving over into narrative work and most shooters are editors in the ad world, and in the indie world, most directors are editors. So, commercial works is great if you can get it, video/online work is most prevalent, and you may have to take lower-paying film gigs to build up your network in that direction.

As for sites, add StaffMeUp (for television) to your list. I'm really surprised ProductionHUB is still a thing because it became Mandy. When did it go back?! LOL

Mandy.com from my own experiences and those I've talked to is not great, never really much work on it and it's always super low paid. There's https://shootingpeople.org/ which seems pretty good, hopefully you can join from outside the UK!
