Hollywood Editing Mentor (HEM) is a series dedicated to working and aspiring film editors who want to break into the industry. Hosted by Hollywood editor Joaquin Elizondo (Narcos: Mexico and Dark Winds), Joaquin offers a helpful guiding hand for any editor searching for ways to meet their career goals.
Joaquin started his career as an editor in broadcast media in 2002, but it took networking and meeting industry veterans who would become his mentors to finally get that big break.
