Eric M.

Documentary & Branded Film Editor | Campaign Sizzles + AI Post

I help brands, founders, agencies, and mission-driven teams turn raw footage, interviews, testimonials, launch assets, and big ideas into polished video stories that feel clear, cinematic, human, and built to hold attention. My strongest work sits at the intersection of documentary storytelling, brand strategy, campaign editing, and AI-assisted post-production: founder stories, customer proof films, campaign sizzles, launch videos, mini-docs, testimonial edits, paid/social cutdowns, and mixed-media brand films. Core lanes: 1. Brand documentaries, founder stories, testimonials, and customer proof edits 2. Campaign sizzles, launch videos, pitch reels, and mini-doc brand stories 3. Paid social ads, UGC edits, cutdowns, hook variants, and platform-ready versions 4. AI-assisted visual workflows, archive, stock, motion, and mixed-media post when they help move faster without losing taste or brand trust I bring director-level editorial judgment: story structure, pacing, selects, music, sound design, captions, titles, motion polish, archive/stock/AI-assisted visuals, versioning, and a clear creative point of view that keeps the message simple, trustworthy, and emotionally effective. How I work: footage + goals + references → selects + structure → first cut → focused notes loop → polished sound/color/titles → platform-ready exports + variations. Send the footage, goals, references, and deliverables you have in mind, and I’ll help shape the strongest edit plan, timeline, and path forward.
