Seeking an editor to help finish a character-driven documentary about Nathan Walker, the first Australian to play in the NHL. This is an atmospheric film focusing on the personal journey, sacrifice, and family, rather than a standard sports highlight reel.

Current Status
The core narrative structure is outlined, and the primary interview quotes have already been selected. I am looking for a creative partner to execute the edit on the timeline and help get the project across the finish line.

Editing & Pacing: Weave together archival home videos, original B-roll, and professional broadcast footage, establishing a deliberate, emotional pace.

Narrative Assembly: Build out the timeline using the pre-selected interview cuts and story notes.

Music & Sound: Assist with sourcing minimalist underscore tracks and integrating sound design to build contrast between the quiet Australian settings and the NHL arenas.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in video editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro).
- Strong understanding of pacing, transitions, and overall filmic aesthetics.
- Experience with sports documentaries or similar content is a plus.
- Ability to collaborate and incorporate feedback effectively.

Please share your portfolio and any relevant work experience.
