HOW MANY NEW FILMMAKERS DO YOU ACCEPT A YEAR?

We typically partner with 40-60 new brands in a single year.

Your Questions,
Answered

When do you accept new clientele?

This is dependent on a few areas: editing platform, level of editor required to satisfy your brand style, required turnaround and volume. Our FCPX and Resolve editors, for example, are often booked by May for the entire season.

Do you only work with luxury brands?

No! We work with filmmakers in every market segment, including volume. Some of our longest running relationships started with us in year 2 of their business.

Why would my brand be declined?

We typically will not partner with filmmakers who want to send six or less projects a year, or, have a strict turnaround time of two months or less. This has to do with providing consistency for our team without having to rush projects out the door. Rushing leads to poor results for all involved. Outsourcing is a process and one that takes time to adapt to.

We do consider your pricing as well. Our pricing starts around $750+, and most of our continuing mid-market partnerships sell a minimum $3500/package to their couples.

When is the best time to apply?

While the most appealing answer would be "when you need help the most!", we know that diving into a new relationship when the heat is on, usually results in a fire.

The best time to apply is January to April - this is the low season for editing work. By June, most clients are locked in and most slots are spoken for. We rarely onboard clients in the fall due to the high demand of editing work in this season.

Do you edit other things?

We will edit birthdays, sweet sixteens, you name it... when we've already done a few weddings together. The wedding edits allow us to understand your production approach and brand voice which is extra helpful when we create films that aren't your standard format/story-heavy recap video.

When will I hear back?

Typically within 14 business days, regardless if we can move forward or not. All submissions are personally reviewed by Michael and Sara. We look at every portfolio, even if we know your required platform is currently full booked.

What does your Process look like? How do I prepare?

We break it down step-by-step with you, but this episode of We Got You with Sara details what you can expect.

What's your Turnaround?

January to July, approximately 4-6 weeks from receiving all project materials.
August to December can be 4-8 weeks depending on schedules.
