Video Editing for Social Media

We're seeking a skilled video editor to transform raw footage from our dog-friendly comedy shows into engaging 15-60 second clips optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook. Specifically, we need:

Video editing: Cut and edit raw show footage into compelling clips that capture the laughter, adorable dogs, and community atmosphere of our events
Platform optimization: Format videos appropriately for each platform (vertical for Reels/TikTok, various aspect ratios for Facebook)
Visual enhancement: Add captions, text overlays, transitions, and effects that make content accessible and engaging
Trend application: Incorporate trending sounds, formats, and editing styles while maintaining our brand identity
Pacing and storytelling: Create videos with strong hooks in the first 3 seconds and clear narrative arcs that showcase our mission

We have a library of raw photos and videos from 100+ events nationwide. We'll collaborate 2-5 hours per week to review footage, provide direction, and approve final edits.

Video content is the most engaging format on social media—and our most powerful tool for attracting new supporters and changing lives.

Your editing skills will directly create:

More dogs finding homes: Engaging video clips drive followers to our shows, which means more fundraising for rescue partners (we've raised $30K+) and more visibility for adoptable dogs. A viral video could mean dozens of new adoption inquiries

Career growth for diverse comedians: High-quality performance clips help the 500+ women, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and POC comedians we've booked grow their own audiences and land future opportunities. Your edits become portfolio pieces that advance their careers

National visibility: Shareable video content attracts new audiences beyond NYC, helping us expand to new cities and prove that comedy and compassion can thrive together anywhere

Every video you edit has the potential to go viral—and every view brings us closer to a world where rescue dogs and diverse voices get the spotlight they deserve.

We have everything ready for you to start editing immediately:

Organized content library: Raw footage from our shows is compiled and organized by event, ready for your creative touch

Brand guidelines: We have established visual style, mission messaging, and tone to ensure consistency

Content direction: We'll provide a content calendar and strategy (or clear priorities) so you know what types of videos to create

Platform access: You'll have access to our social accounts to understand what's resonated with our audience

Quick feedback: Our founder will provide timely reviews and approvals to keep videos moving to publication

Immediate use: Every video you create will be posted and promoted through our channels, email list, and partner networks
Growth opportunity: We recently secured a BuzzFeed partnership for a televised comedy special, so your work supports exciting momentum
