Spanish-Speaking Editor for Documentary (LA, NYC, or Chicago)
Two independent filmmakers are looking for a fluent Spanish-speaking editor to cut a Nicaraguan based documentary film. The film explores the consequences of American foreign policy culminating in the decade long civil war in the 1980s. Using in depth interviews with working class people, as well as indigenous writers and scholars, the film intends to tell their story from the Nicaraguan perspective. The work also features a special interview with American linguist, author, and lecturer, Noam Chomsky.
Ideally we are looking for young, up and coming editors based in the Los Angeles, NYC or Chicago areas to help propel the project to the festival circuit. Pay will depend on experience and level of work. Please respond with resume, reel, and letter of intent to anmcinematek@gmail.com. Keep in mind, fluent Spanish speakers are preferred to apply as 90% of the interviews are in Spanish. Thank you for your interest.
