18 Film Editing Facebook Groups To Join

We can find out more about the Film and TV Industry by joining Film Editing Facebook groups! Unfortunately, these groups can be challenging to find and before someone told me or invited me to each one, I had no idea they existed! Not only are these groups a great place to meet new people, they are also a gold mine of job posts, upcoming industry events, opportunities to ask for technical help and of course hilarious editing stories!

Recently, I started up a group called Making The Cut for new entrants into the industry including Post Production Runners, Edit Assistants, University Students, Edit Trainees and more. I may be a bit biased but you should definitely join and invite your friends! He he!

Here are some Facebook groups to check out to see if we meet the entry criteria. Some groups are perfect for those of us with no experience, others require members to have a couple of Broadcast TV/Film credits under their belts. Do not worry if you don't meet a specific criteria for one group, there will be many others perfect for you!

Each group has its own set of rules and entry criteria. Please ensure you read them carefully before submitting a request to join.
