Company:

Substrata Media / Substrata Media is building something new in entertainment. We are not producing a traditional reality show, a simple livestream, or a standard horse documentary. We are building a new kind of media environment — a Living World — where real life is captured continuously through a large-scale camera infrastructure, shaped into story, supported by live access, connected to an interactive platform, and remembered through AI. Our first Living World is based at a 100-acre horse facility in Delaware. At the center of that world is Sandtown Ground Truth — a reality-style series built from the real pressure, people, problems, purpose, and daily life behind LivingWorld.

Horse. We are looking for a strong editor / story-driven post-production creative to help shape 10-minute reality-style segments that capture what is really happening at the facility: the mission, the horses, the staff, the founder, the tension, the setbacks, the breakthroughs, the care, the mistakes, the pressure, and the emotional reason this world exists. This is a rare opportunity for someone who wants to help build a new format from the inside. The Role Sandtown Ground Truth episodes are approximately 10 minutes each. They are built in a reality-TV style using a combination of facility camera footage, interviews, real-time events, staff moments, founder commentary, horse-care activity, operational problems, emotional beats, and mission-driven storylines. The right person will help find the story inside real life. You will work with footage captured from a large multi-camera facility system, along with interviews and supporting production material, to create emotionally compelling, fast-moving, honest, reality-style episodes. This is not just technical editing. This is story construction. We need someone who understands pacing, tension, character, emotional payoff, authenticity, and how to turn real daily events into a watchable narrative. What You'll Be Editing Sandtown Ground Truth follows the real behind-the-scenes journey of building LivingWorld.

Horse.

Stories may include:

Facility problems and operational pressure Horse-care decisions and emotional moments Staff relationships, conflict, humor, growth, and accountability Founder pressure around launch, investment, production, and mission The struggle to build a new kind of entertainment platform The daily reality of caring for horses while building a media company The mission to help people see horses as intelligent, emotional, connectable animals worthy of deeper care and protection Every episode should feel real, human, emotional, and purposeful. The pressure matters. But the mission matters more.

Responsibilities:

Edit approximately 10-minute Sandtown Ground Truth episodes Review and organize selected footage from facility cameras and interviews Identify strong story beats, emotional arcs, and character moments Build reality-style sequences with pace, tension, context, and payoff Work with the founder and production team to shape episode direction Help establish the tone, rhythm, and format of the series Balance drama, purpose, humor, emotion, and authenticity Create polished cuts suitable for platform release and future pitch materials Help develop a repeatable post-production workflow as the series grows The Work Structure This is a hybrid position. The editor should be on-site in Felton, Delaware approximately 2-3 days per week to understand the facility, meet the people, see the horses, absorb the environment, and collaborate directly with the team for each episode. The remaining days can be remote editing, depending on workflow, experience, and production needs. Compensation Compensation is based on experience, creative ability, and the level of production responsibility. The role can pay up to $85,000 per year, with flexibility depending on the candidate's background, scope of work, and ability to help produce high-quality content consistently. For the right person, there may be room to structure the role around editing, story producing, or broader production contribution. Why This Is Different Most editing jobs are attached to content that already has a fixed format. This is different. You would be helping shape a new entertainment structure from the beginning — one built around continuous real-world capture, authentic stories, live access, audience participation, and a mission that matters. The facility is real. The horses are real. The pressure is real. The story is happening every day. Your job is to help the audience feel it. Who This Is For This role is for someone who wants more than a standard editing job. It is for someone who wants to help build something new, has strong storytelling instincts, understands emotional reality, and is excited by the challenge of turning real life into meaningful, watchable, purpose-driven entertainment. If you love reality TV, documentary storytelling, animals, underdog missions, founder stories, human pressure, and the chance to help define a new media format, this could be a very special opportunity.
