Career Outcomes from Real Graduates
"I Got Hired"
My 6-week course gave me the fundamentals I needed to jump into the Assistant editor field, where I am now actively employed at a Post company. The teachers AND the Alums look out for you! The network built here is gold. Only furthering ones reach in the Editing world.
The workshop made me comfortable with different softwares and taught me essential organization tools that made me confident to take on projects by myself. Over the past year and a half, I've been able to gain enough clients that I quit my serving job and now work full time from my home studio.
Manhattan Edit Workshop has such an amazing facility with wonderful and extremely knowledgeable teachers who helped enormously to get a kick start in my professional career.
"The Network Is Real"
I'm continually impressed by the seriousness of purpose of the students passing through MEWShop's workshops, to the point where I've hired a number of graduates on projects of mine. My only regret is that a place like Manhattan Edit Workshop didn't exist when I was first trying to break into the film industry.
I certainly wouldn't be where I am now without the help of everyone at MEWShop.
At the end of the class they give you great information, resources, and personal advice on resumes, cover letters, websites, and looking for jobs. I really feel like they do their best in preparing and connecting you to people so that you have good chances once you get out.
"It Changed My Career Path"
I'm in the middle of a career transition from engineering to video editing, and I took a chance with the six week intensive course. I can't say enough how valuable this experience has been for me. You walk out with a portfolio website, confidence in your potential, and a community you can always keep in touch with.
I owe a lot to MEWShop — your workshop has taught me so many things about film and opened the door of inspiration that enhanced my passion in film and editing.
