Instagram is a great way to find new training courses, community events and editing memes. We can pick and choose accounts to follow, and muting the stories/posts is always an option if we want it. Many Post Production Houses are on Instagram, which can help us find out a little more about each company, whether that be for an upcoming job interview or to compare their Friday Treats! Here are some film editing accounts I enjoy following. I’d love to know what your favourite film account is? Comment below!
