Premiere Bro is Going to Editors Retreat
Editors Retreat: Tips, FAQ's and Schedule
This post smashes the keep-it-short rule. In fact, it's like three posts in one! Use the buttons for easy navigation.
Premiere Bro will be 1 of approximately 70 editors attending this year's Editors Retreat. Registration is usually limited to 80 applicants, that includes sponsors, alumni, and first-timers. Editors Retreat is intentionally kept small to "help you expand your professional network and build lasting relationships with the other attendees and instructors". It's carefully designed to be a tight-knit and influential group. This post offers tips for getting accepted to Editors Retreat, as well as frequently asked questions and the Premiere Bro Editors Retreat schedule.

4 Tips for Future Editors Retreat Applicants
Statistically, you are probably not one of the 70 attending Editors Retreat. So, why read this? Because the thought of attending a 6-day retreat with a small group of professional editors sounds AWESOME. Like many, you're probably not able to go because 1) you can't afford the time or money, and/or 2) you don't yet meet the Editors Retreat application requirements. Don't let that stop you from making attending Editors Retreat a 3-to-5 year career goal. Here are some tips to to help you get there:
1. Edit professionally for 5 years. No shortcuts. Five years is 1,825 days and you have to be editing for paychecks for every one of those days.
2. Bribe your company/boss with the Editors Retreat Goodie Bag. The value of the software, training, and NAB Post|Production World 2016 pass included in the Goodie Bag is worth an estimated $5,000! Technically, that return alone covers the cost of the Editors Retreat registration.
3. Pinch pennies! For the sake of the argument, let's say you have Hulu and Netflix subscriptions and they both cost $10/month. Cancelling one of them will save you $120 a year. If you take the advice of making Editors Retreat at least a three year goal, that's $360. It may not appear much when compared to the registration cost of $3,895, but $360 will cover your plane ticket. That is, of course, assuming you don't spend that extra $10/month on Starbucks.
4. Network! Start by digging into that list of email contacts. Is there anyone who would sponsor your trip? Is there a client who would foot the bill to send you to Editors Retreat in exchange for your services? Asking may not be comfortable, but it won't kill anyone. That would be entirely coincidental.
The time will come when you will be able to attend Editors Retreat. But this year, vicariously experience it through Premiere Bro. It's not the same, but it's the next best thing! Follow Premiere Bro for Editors Retreat content specifically aimed at future applicants and those not able to attend.
Note: Editors Retreat is NLE agnostic. Most Premiere Bro content from Editors Retreat will be relevant to all editors. However, Premiere Bro will be prioritizing Adobe Premiere Pro CC, specifically when it comes to choosing which sessions to cover.
