Film Video Editor Intern

Job Description

Video / Photo Editing Intern

Akari is a new Japanese spirits company preparing to launch in just a few months, starting with our flagship Japanese gin, followed by a small-batch whiskey. We’re not your typical Japanese spirits brand. While our craftsmanship is world-class, our brand identity is fun, bold, and eccentric—designed to capture the nostalgic, and vibrant side of Tokyo that people dream about. Think : karaoke nights, dancing salarymen, and the escapist energy of Lost in Translation.

Our creative direction is uncompromising—we shoot exclusively on film to achieve a timeless, high-fashion aesthetic. Once you see our reels, stills, and content, you’ll understand the beauty and tastefulness we bring to the industry.

The Role

We’re looking for a passionate Video / Photo Editing Intern to help us bring our Tokyo-inspired story to life. You’ll work directly with our creative team to :

• Edit film reels into short-form content for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
• Assist with photo editing, color grading, and visual storytelling
• Help curate content and provide a tastemaker’s perspective on what to post
• Be part of a hands-on, creative environment where your ideas and input matter

Who You Are

Why Join Us

This is more than an internship—it’s an opportunity to help build one of the most exciting, design-forward Japanese spirit brands to launch in the U.S. Expect creative freedom, portfolio-worthy projects, and a chance to be part of something unforgettable. Plus, there may be perks along the way.

If you love Tokyo, film, and the idea of working with a brand that feels more like a vintage art-house film than a traditional liquor company—you’ll love Akari.
