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.

3,000. 🎉
I honestly didn't see this coming...at least not this fast.
Yesterday I posted a video walking through my exact process for editing a scene. Something I'd been wanting to make for a long time. Something you'd been asking for.
And it took off in a way I've never experienced on this channel.
So thank you. Genuinely. 🙏🏽
Whether you've been here since the beginning or just found the channel this week, I'm glad you're here.
There's a lot more coming. This is just the beginning.

Spent all of last year (and part of this year) working on GRISELDA and it was great to wake up this morning and see that the official trailer had been posted.
Tremendously proud of the work we all did and I can't wait for you to check it out on January 25!
