Dear Hiring Manager,

With over 17 years of experience in video editing and production across various platforms, I excel at crafting compelling narratives and engaging visual content. I have a proven ability to create content that resonates with diverse audiences and am passionate about storytelling and using multimedia to inspire viewers and drive engagement.

I think my technical skills, my experience developing innovative content, my creativity, my ability to think outside of the box, my passion for entertainment, and my in it to win it attitude make me stand out as an ideal candidate. I would be a great asset to the team because I have a diverse background producing and editing various material ranging from sports to news, to social, to documentary, scripted, and lifestyle content across multiple platforms.

I have a strong sense of pace and timing and I take pride in my story telling skills and my ability to put together a thought provoking and visually compelling piece. My purpose is to engage others to be emotionally elevated through video media. I hope to create content that is meaningful, informative, entertaining, and unique. I have expert proficiency in Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Photoshop. I have my keyboard shortcuts mapped and utilize them to maximize efficiency.

I thrive in a fast-paced environment, am a great multitasker and my passion for all media grows with the more opportunities I take on. I feel fortunate that opportunities such as CBS, Bloomberg, Hearst, and the Tennis Channel have trained me in the process of developing, producing, and editing news and entertainment. I always deliver and enjoy finding solutions to complex problems. I continuously discover and implement new editing technologies and industry best practices to maximize efficiency. I thrive in dynamic environments and look forward to bringing innovative digital strategies to elevate your brand's presence. I look forward to connecting and discussing how I can contribute to your team's success! Below are samples of my work:

Tennis like a Rockstar aired on broadcast tv and across all Tennis Channel Platforms. I produced, directed, and edited this piece on Eric Sage who is a tennis coach and rockstar and a true inspiration. Out of the budget for broadcast I was able to also shoot extra footage which I used to cut 8 more mini episodes for Youtube, Youtube shorts, as well as versions for Tik Tok, IGTV and FB. Audiences across platforms really engaged with this content. For me it was an honor to tell Eric Sage's story in a way that mixed the worlds of music and tennis together. I had fun experimenting with mixed media formats, specifically the Insta 360 cam pov footage with high res footage and using Eric's original music to create a soundtrack that complimented the overall look and feel of the story. Other notable work for Tennis Channel in the realm of sports media: Professor Z is a show I directed and produced where I had the opportunity to work with Misha and Alex Zverev and Aryna Sabalenka. I also worked with Andrea Petkovic, Daniela Hantuchova, and Andy Murray. I find athletes to be the most inspiring and dedicated people I have ever had the privilege of working with. Athletes inspire people and show us that it takes time, effort, and dedication to succeed! From a technical aspect I am proud of the work at USTV and particularly Comedians in Cars Drinking Coffee. This is a show on Netflix with Jerry Seinfeld on which I was the post engineer and designed a streamlined postproduction remote workflow, from online to offline, multicam 6k footage transcode and project organization, management, cloud storage and project to delivery to the network with audio and meta data synced, multicam groups and dailies, ready for offline online workflow and for the editors at Netflix to start right away. Here is playlist of my work at Delish/Hearst: Demo Reel at Delish At the Charlie Rose many of our edits would have the same day turn around. James Cameron Promo Charlie Rose Show

I am grateful for the many opportunities in life where I have had the honor to tell someone’s story and to collaborate with extra ordinary and talented inspiring people. I am the perfect choice for this position and stand out over other applicants because I take pride in my work and this is my true passion. I am a creative skilled efficient editor and producer who always delivers and holds myself to the highest quality standards. I want to bring people together through thought provoking compelling video content and engage and inspire audiences. I hope to create magic together and make grand ideas a visual reality! Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,

Orysia Kucher
