If you want to become a film & TV editor or keep building an editing career you're proud of — you're in the right place!

I'm Joaquin Elizondo, an ACE member and working film & TV editor with credits on Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon, AMC, Hulu, and NatGeo, including shows like THE ABANDONS, GRISELDA, DARK WINDS, and NARCOS: MEXICO.

On this channel I share what it actually takes to work in this industry. Real insight from someone still in the cutting room.

You'll find tutorials, honest craft breakdowns, practical career advice for film & TV editors, technical workflows, and the kind of insider knowledge that doesn't show up in film school.

Whether you're trying to break in, find editing jobs, or build a long-term career — subscribe and let's figure it out together.
