FAQs
You may ask...
-
So, I can apply for Editing Room 1 anytime?
Yes, we have now an ongoing call, you can apply anytime and you will receive the 3-hour-long online consultation.
-
Can I apply to Editing Room 2 without having participated in Editing Room 1?
The original idea is to do both stages in succession, but since the post-production process can vary due to external circumstances, just reach out and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
-
I'm a director and I'm editing by myself. Can I apply?
The program is designed for a team of one editor and one director. However, for Editing Room 2, we might be able to match you with an editor from our pool of collaborators.
