Video Editor & Videographer (Hybrid Role)

Location: Bronx, NY (Riverdale) | Hybrid — On-location shoots, in-person editing at our studio remote editing

Type: Contract (with path to full-time)

Reports to: Vito Di Maio, Creative Director & Co-Founder

Dendera Studios is a Bronx-based cinematic content and brand management agency. We don't make content — we make films for brands. Every client is the main character, and every frame is intentional. Our roster spans bespoke menswear houses, nonprofit organizations, cultural events, and indie film projects. We bring a director's eye to everything we touch.

We're looking for a Video Editor & Videographer who can shoot with precision and edit with narrative instinct. You'll be embedded in our production pipeline from pre-production through final delivery — operating camera on set, assembling edits that tell a story, and contributing to a body of work that looks and feels like cinema, not content.

You'll be crafting talking heads that feel intimate, brand films that feel authored, and event recaps that move — all while understanding that the final destination is social. We make cinematic content built for the scroll. You need to know what stops a thumb, how to cut for vertical, when a 15-second version hits harder than a 60, and how platform logic shapes editorial decisions. If you care about lighting, pacing, sound design, and the cut — and you think in hooks, formats, and retention — keep reading.

• Shoot on location across NYC (primarily the Bronx and Manhattan) for client sessions, brand content, and event coverage
• Edit client deliverables including brand films, social-first short-form content, Reels, event recaps, and documentary material
• Adapt long-form footage into platform-optimized cuts (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts) with an eye for hooks, pacing, and retention
• Collaborate directly with the Creative Director and content strategist on shot planning, mood, narrative direction, and content calendars
• Manage footage ingest, organization, and archival within our production pipeline
• Deliver polished exports optimized for social platforms, web, and presentation
• Participate in internal reviews via Frame.io and maintain version control discipline

• A reel that shows range — not just technical skill, but taste, and ideally social-native work
• Fluency in social-first content creation: hooks, pacing for retention, vertical formats, platform-specific editing conventions
• Strong camera operation skills; experience with Blackmagic and Canon cinema/mirrorless systems preferred
• Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve and/or Adobe Premiere Pro
• Understanding of color grading, sound mixing, and motion graphics (After Effects a plus)
• Ability to shoot handheld, run-and-gun, and controlled studio setups with equal confidence
• Reliability, professionalism, and the ability to represent Dendera on set with clients
• Based in or around NYC with the ability to travel to shoots across the tristate area

• Experience in fashion, menswear, or luxury brand content
• Documentary or narrative film background
• Have your own ready-to-shoot camera package (photo video)
• Familiarity with Asana, Frame.io

Hourly compensation, commensurate with experience. Hours flex based on production schedule and client needs. Consistent contributors will be considered for ongoing retainer arrangements.
