Job description

May Street is a Boston-based video production company. We make films for independent schools, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, and corporate clients — brand films, event and gala pieces, interview-driven storytelling, and sizzle reels. Most of our work is multicam, with real interview audio and a lot of documentary-style b-roll.

We're looking for freelance editors to bring on project by project. You'd get a shoot's worth of footage, a creative brief, and a deadline — and be trusted to build something we're proud to deliver. Assignments typically run from a single 90-second sizzle to a 5–8 minute film with multiple interview subjects.

This is not a full-time role and there's no guaranteed volume. It's a bench we're building: editors we can call when the schedule gets tight, who already know how we work.

What you'd be doing

  • Assembling multicam interview footage into a clear narrative from transcripts and a brief (knowledge of Premiere multicam workflows needed)
  • Cutting music-driven b-roll sequences with real sense of pace
  • Basic color correction and grading, and clean audio mixing (dialogue, music beds, room tone)
  • Lower thirds, titles, and simple motion graphics to brand spec
  • Delivering spec-correct exports for web, social, and event playback
  • Taking client notes across two to three rounds without losing the thread of the original cut

Rate: $60–$85 per hour, depending on experience and project scope

Requirements

  • Fluent in Adobe Premiere Pro — you know the shortcuts, you organize your bins, and someone else could open your project file and find things
  • Comfortable cleaning up dialogue audio to a broadcast-ready standard
  • Working knowledge of After Effects for titles and light graphics
  • Experience cutting interview-based or documentary-style work; you can find the story in an hour of talking heads
  • Reliable turnaround and clear communication about your capacity — we'd rather hear "I can't take this one" than get a late delivery
  • Your own hardware, software licenses, and a connection that can handle large media transfers
  • A reel or portfolio with at least two pieces relevant to this kind of work

Nice to have: color grading experience, familiarity with nonprofit or education clients, comfort with cloud-based client review workflows.
