Movie Trailer Editing That Wins Distribution Deals

David Sandoval Ríos

Film Editor

Editing movie trailers for filmmakers and sales agents on the festival circuit.

From Mexico

Distributors make acquisition decisions in 90 seconds. Most trailers lose them in the first ten.

Not because the film lacks market potential — because the cut doesn’t lead with genre positioning, comparable titles, or a clear commercial hook.

What This Service Delivers

A $25,000+ movie trailer post-production workflow available from just $450 compressed into a remote turnaround:

Commercial Cut Structure

Opened with genre signal, narrative hook, and market positioning buyers recognize.


Music Rights Included

Pre-cleared royalty-free tracks. No $10K+ licensing delays on submission.


Format Compliance

ProRes, MP4, or any market requirement — AFM, Cannes, EFM specifications covered.


48-Hour Iterations

Revision cycles aligned with festival and market deadlines.
