Creative Video Editor & Content Strategist (IG+Youtube, presence drive brand)

---

---

I’m building a dark, cinematic personal brand that blends: Masculine self-reinvention Introverted presence over extroverted hype A touch of my wrestling persona (MT Shade)—calm, powerful, mythic And real, raw storytelling about what it’s like to feel invisible and forge identity through discipline This is not a typical self-improvement channel. There’s no yelling. No clickbait. It’s visual, narrative, aesthetic—main character energy for men who’ve always felt like outsiders. Purpose: I want to build an audience and presence through short-form cinematic content (IG + YouTube), with the long-term vision of building a brand—not just chasing likes. You’re not just editing. You’re helping me build a story arc people want to follow. I Need Help With: Editing Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts (1–2 per week) Turning voiceovers, gym clips, rainy streets, quiet moments into high-impact short films Helping structure YouTube monologues (2–5 mins) over time and potentially podcasts Designing content that fits my aesthetic: calm, brooding, clear, real Optional but ideal: feedback on hooks, pacing, captions Must understand how to build growth + emotional punch without trends Content Style / Moodboard: Mike Thurston (clean, premium lifestyle tone) Nathaniel Drew Matt D'Avella Joey Scheweitzer Tristan Tate monologues (still, masculine delivery) FitxFearless / Real Not Rare energy Hamza minus the cartoon Wrestling promo intensity, minus the theatrics Reference Script: Here’s an example of the tone/feel I’m working with: “If you’ve gone most of your life feeling invisible, it’s probably not because you’re broken. It’s because the world rewards a very specific kind of energy Fast, loud, warm, social. And if that’s not how you move? You get missed. Ignored. Written off as awkward or cold. But the truth is—some people just carry presence differently. They move slower, speak less, but when they do speak—people feel it. You’re not lacking something. You’re just playing in a system that never learned how to read you. So stop trying to be loud enough for the world to hear you. Start building a presence so strong… they can’t ignore the silence.” Your Role: Understand this energy Edit in a way that matches the myth, not just the trend Help build a scroll-stopping visual identity Be someone I can work with long-term as this expands into more content, merch, events, and presence Rate: $20–80/hr or fixed rate per reel/video depending on your work quality. This starts weekly—but can grow fast if it clicks. To Apply: Send: 2–3 edited Reels or Shorts you’ve done (especially cinematic, masculine, voiceover-based) 1 example of a brand or persona you’ve helped grow A short note: If this was your brand—how would you shape it?
