A badly edited movie trailer that doesn’t persuade risks losing distribution deals.

I edit trailers for film sales agents pitching films at festivals like Berlinale, TIFF, Edinburgh and AFM. Working in that world made me realize something most editors don’t know: a trailer built for sales is a completely different animal from a consumer trailer.

I’ve seen plenty of freelance editors offering trailer cutting services. They talk about “creativity” and “mood cuts.” Most of them have arts degrees and strong reels. But very few actually understand the marketing mechanics that make a distributor lean forward in their seat.

A trailer that persuades a distributor isn’t about atmosphere. It has to be engineered to show marketability.

That’s exactly what I build for you. I offer a film trailer editing service for film sales.

Your will receive a trailer cut that has the correct sales structure:

• hook first
• show key cast
• immediate genre tone signaling

all while you steer the cut towards your key selling points. This will maximize the ROI of your film.

You also get access to a studio-grade, fully remote editing and iteration process — the kind of standardized workflow that normally costs $20,000+ — built around technology that lets us stay completely focused on finishing your cut fast. Because in this business, deadlines don’t move.

90-second sales trailer — $450 120-second sales trailer — $550

If you’ve been searching for a trailer editor and not one of them has mentioned a sales-oriented cut structure, this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

I take on 2 trailer projects per week. If you have a sales blast coming up, learn more about the service before those spots fill.
