Assistant Video Editor Jobs

Alden here - Alchemy's Founder

I started Alchemy Film with one simple, yet powerful belief–that well- crafted stories can change the world for the better.

Look, lot’s of companies have big and bold missions, but far too often they ring hollow when you compare those statements to their actions. I won’t ask you to take our word for it, instead judge us based on what we’ve already done. And if our current path excites you, well then perhaps you’re the right person to come in and be an inflection point for our future–helping us to reach new heights.

I started exploring storytelling as a way of expressing the things I had in my head and found myself surround with inspiring pioneers doing amazing things in their communities through new startups and soulful nonprofits.

At Alchemy, we know that well-told stories can change the world — and we do everything we can to get meaningful, human-centric stories out into the world.

But we can’t do it alone, we need your help to bring stories to life.

Nearly all of our work is shot in documentary style that emphasizes experience and is fast, one take and improvisational in its nature.

For the nuts and bolts, we do many Docu-series on all topics entrepreneurial and we fund our own work which helps us push our own boundaries.

Our special sauce is that we make real life, human-centric films AND we make it compelling & beautiful.

And that is where you come in. If you’re still with me at this point, take a look at the more detailed description below:
