Video Editor & Storytelling Partner (Social + Brand Content)

Hey I’m Alex!

I run a 40+ year family restaurant business (Petros) in East Tennessee in the U.S., and I’m also building something much bigger through storytelling—across business, faith, running, and life.

I recently completed a fundraising journey to support a ministry Young Life Africa… and it changed me.
Now I’m looking for someone to help me tell stories that actually matter.

Not just edits.
Not just trendy reels.
Stories that move people.

What You’ll Be Editing

You’ll work on a mix of:

Social media reels (Instagram / TikTok)
Story-driven videos (running journey, South Coast trip coming up, mission content)
Brand content for Petros (family business)
Occasional personal/family storytelling edits



These would be emotion-driven and entertaining edits that are clean w/ simple storytelling
Strong pacing and music choices. Not over-edited… but intentional.

What I’m Looking For:

You care about story over flashy edits
You understand timing, emotion, and pacing
You can take raw footage and find the story inside it
You’re proactive — not just waiting for instructions
You want to grow with someone long-term and learn to anticipate my needs & wants but not afraid to challenge my approach. I need to listen to the expert, not just provide all direction.

Skills Needed
Premiere Pro / CapCut/Insta Edits / After Effects (any combo works)
Strong sense of:
pacing
music selection
cuts + flow
Experience with short-form content (Reels/TikTok)

Bonus:

UGC or brand storytelling experience
You’ve edited content that feels real, not corporate
What I Value—Hopefully this will be helpful for you:

I’m a Christian, and my work is rooted in faith, purpose, and impact to serve others—not to be served.
You don’t have to share that same belief—but you should respect it and be aligned with creating content that is:
positive
meaningful
people-focused

Role Details
Part-time to start (10–15 hrs/week)
Opportunity to grow into full-time
Long-term partnership if it’s a fit
Flexible schedule

Pay Starting range:
$5–$8/hour (based on experience)
With clear path to increase based on performance

HOW TO APPLY
Please do NOT send a generic application.
Instead, please send 2–3 of your best edits and tell me which one you’re most proud of and why.
What makes a video feel “meaningful” instead of just “good” to you?

I’m not looking for the cheapest editor. I’m looking for the right person. If you care about storytelling and want to build something meaningful, I’d love to work with you.
