EDITOR REQUIRED

‘Spilling the Beans’ is an international feature length documentary set in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Mexico and the UK. Centred around coffee the film brings alive the issues of world trade, development and geopolitics through observational filming, archive and animation. Music and sound will play a vital role in shaping the visuals. A DVD and book will be released with the film in June 2004.

The production team are seeking an editor with experience in 50 & 75 min docs for an eight week offline starting in February. There are over 100 hours of footage shot on mini-dv and there are several languages in the film. The ideal person will work closely with the directors to bring a creative edge to this project.

Please note this is a low budget film, which has benefited from in-kind support from international agencies including the UN. Therefore, it would suit someone not expecting to be paid full rates and seeking a challenge on an ambitious documentary project.

If you are interested, please contact Marc Francis, Speakit Productions: info@speak-it.org
