I'm on a mission to make awesome, binge worthy, and valuable content about editing, filmmaking, and YouTube :)

If your serious about becoming an editor who gets paid what their worth then read on...

For those of you who do not know, I do private 1:1 consulting where I work with editors personally helping them to install my systems and frameworks into their business to scale their editing business and work with the clients they have always wanted to.

I have been at full capacity for a bit now but I have 3 slots that have just opened up...

I don't like wasting time and I hate when people add fluff to stuff so for time sake on both our parts the investment is $2,000 for 60 days of coaching. You get all my templates, systems, frameworks, and 1 weekly call with me. If you are an editor who actually wants to learn everything I know about editing and scaling it into a real business then you can DM on IG, if not then I have some 🔥 videos filled with value coming soon!

🚨 Most editors are stuck in a trap.

They think clients pay them to cut clips or throw on some animations… but that’s wrong.

Clients pay for story, emotion, retention, and results. That’s exactly why creators with millions of subs (like Airrack) reach out to me — not because I “cut better,” but because I approach editing like a filmmaker and a creative entrepreneur.

That shift — from commoditized “clip cutter” → to story architect & business-minded creative — is what took me from broke editor to earning $16–25K/month consistently.

In my latest video, I break down the 3 lessons I wish I knew years ago that completely changed how I make money editing:
1️⃣ Don’t be an editor who cuts → Be a filmmaker who edits
2️⃣ Stop running your career like an editor → Think like an entrepreneur
3️⃣ Tie your edits to ROI → reputation, retention, and results

🚨 Big Idea — but I need your feedback before I go all in 🚨

I’ve been working on a program — designed to help editors go beyond “just cutting clips” and become story architects. It would cover things like:


The psychology of editing
Storytelling Mastery
How to get amazing cinematic footage like a filmmaker
Growing a personal brand with YouTube
How to get clients as an editor
Scaling to creative career freedom
And much more...

Before I spend a ton of time and resources building this out over the next 4 months, I want to make sure there’s real interest.

👉 Would this be valuable to you?
👉 What’s the ONE thing you’d want included to make it worth it?

I made a quick form to collect feedback — if you could take 2 minutes to fill it out, it would mean the world 🙏

I need your help 🙏

I’ve been experimenting with different styles of content lately, but my main goal has always been to give you the most value possible. So I want to hear from YOU:

👉 Do you want to see more breakdowns (like my recent Severance editing deep dive)?
👉 More filmmaking content overall (editing, filming, gear, content creation tips)?
👉 Or more practical tips & advice you can apply directly to your projects?

Drop your vote in the comments or let me know if you want all of the above, etc.— your feedback is what helps shapes this channel. 🙏

Most people think editing is just cutting out mistakes.

But Severance proves editing is something far deeper. Every cut feels like a wound. Every silence feels like a scream. The editors behind this show didn’t just assemble footage—they created psychological warfare that traps you inside the story itself.

This video isn’t just about Severance. It’s about what editing can truly be: storytelling at the level of the subconscious.

🎬 Most editors are focused on the WRONG things…

They obsess over flashy animations, trending TikTok-style effects, and technical tricks — but they completely miss what actually makes editing powerful: story and emotion.

Editing isn’t just a side hustle or a way to “make things look cool.” It’s one of the most powerful art forms in the world. You literally have the ability to take an idea, a feeling, or a story — and bring it to life in a way that makes people feel something.

In my latest video, I break down:

Why great editing is about psychology, not plugins

The 3 layers of Emotional Architecture every edit needs

Subtle but game-changing techniques like Walter Murch’s Blink Theory

How films like Arrival and Inception use editing to hook the human brain

And how to use tools like MotionVFX (without falling into the “surface editing” trap)

If you’ve ever wondered how to edit in a way that people can’t look away from, this video will change the way you see editing forever.
