Short-Form Video Editor

About Us:
Welcome to Blind 8, a unique social experience where we bring together 8 strangers for dinner parties, creating genuine connections over food and shared stories. Founded in January 2024 by my brother and I use the power of social bravery to recruit our guests off the street with a sign reading, "Dinner Party @ Ours?" In just under a year, we've gained 35k Instagram followers and have hosted over 50 dinners, growing our community one intimate gathering at a time. As we take our content to the next level, we’re looking for a creative mind to join our team and help amplify our brand through dynamic video storytelling.
