About Me
Who I Am

Hi! My name is Sean Hopkins, and I am a Freelance Video Editor. My experience with film and film editing started in 2019 at Cumberland Valley High School, and that followed me into the last few years as I just recently graduated from Messiah University with a degree in Film & Media Arts. I've concentrated in directing and editing (Adobe Premiere Pro/After Effects and DaVinci Resolve), with additional education in screenwriting and cinematography. I enjoy the diversity of storytelling that can be included in film, and so I've tried my hand at a little bit of everything. Narrative fiction productions and commercial editing have been my focus, but I've also worked on various YouTube channels, short form content, and worked three years in broadcasting during my time at school. Film's ability to entertain, tell a story of great depth, change minds, and connect with an audience is unrivaled by anything else to me.
Since coming to and graduating from Messiah University, I have worked for dozens of people and organizations, from YouTube videos to podcasts to marketing campaigns.

Flyers! The Musical
My most recent project was my 25 minute senior film Flyers! The Musical, that I wrote, directed, and edited. It features all original music, choreography, and was made entirely by the various hands of dozens of different students at Messiah that agreed to help me on it. The film is currently screening at film festivals. Check it out HERE!
