Dear Hiring Manager

I am applying for the current editing position advertised on your website.

I have a foundation degree in Film and Media Production which I gained last year. I have the standard required GCSE’s Maths and English grade 4+ and 3 others graded A-C. I also have an A Level equivalent level 3 extended diploma in Film and Media production. I have worked on 2 short films funded by Channel 4 as a part of their short form content fund. These films were ‘Youthless’ directed by Jordon Scott Kennedy and ‘Sons and Daughters of Subculture’ directed by Casey Shaw. These were produced under Jordon Scott Kennedy’s production company, Idle Work Factory and his short film ‘Youthless’ has since been optioned for a Tv series by Rollem Productions. I have also worked on a film funded by Bradford Council for International Women’s Day, also produced by Idle Work Factory. My speciality in filmmaking is post-production, specifically editing. I have been editing videos professionally for 2 years and have gained positive feedback from clients for whom I have produced videography and editing work. I am a very cooperative person and very easy to work with. I carry out instructions effectively and ensure tasks are completed to their set deadline. 

Being a perfectionist and having a keen eye for key detail, I feel I would fit perfectly within your amazing team. I am eager to gain experience in working in mainstream post-production processes for national television. I was mentored by Andrew Lurcuck, who is head of True North’s post-production sector. He gave me very aiding advice on editing within the film industry and a goal to work within your amazing company. Please find my professional YouTube account and CV linked in this cover letter. 

If I am needed for any further service, please do not hesitate to contact me via the contact details above.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you. 

Ethan Duckworth
