Minneapolis films
Minneapolis filmmakers shoot through long winters, and the footage shows it: low sun, short days, snow that changes the light from one take to the next. Matching those shots is part of the edit and the grade. Mark the scenes where weather or daylight changed mid-scene, and we'll cut around the jumps where we can.
The region has an active independent and documentary community, and many projects are made around jobs and other commitments. Edits often run in bursts. We plan schedules with clear review points so a project can pause and pick up again without losing track.
How a Minneapolis project runs
- You share the script and footage and tell us the runtime and the schedule.
- We watch the material and send a written quote with dates for each cut.
- You review the assembly and the rough cut and give notes in a call or on the review link.
- We lock picture, then prepare the files for sound, color and festival submission.
Everything happens online: footage arrives through a share link, cuts go out as private review links, and calls are booked in Central time. We don't have an office or a screening room in Minneapolis, and the work doesn't need one.

Questions
Can the edit pause between stages?
Yes. Each stage ends in a review, and the quote can set out a schedule with breaks built in.
What time zone do you work in for Minneapolis?
We book calls in Central time. Everything else happens by email and review links.
Ask for a quote
Cost depends on the amount of footage, the target runtime, the number of cuts and notes rounds, and which deliverables you need. Every project gets its own written quote.
