But seriously...

I’ve been editing for over 30 years, the last 15 in Minneapolis.  As a staff editor I have worked for most of the major clients in the market and a lot of the little guys.   


Long-form, short-form, 2 hour documentaries to 30 second spots, I’ve done it all.   I can deliver an HD or DigiBeta master,  a DVD, a web file or all of the above.  Need five synchronized screens for an event?  I can do that too.


My speed and accuracy have earned me many loyal and goofy clients.

"Joe Paolo is one of the best editors I've ever worked with.  He's creative, fast, and, most importantly, an excellent story-teller.  He always helps ensure that my video packages are well-paced, visually stunning, and impactful.  Joe goes above and beyond on all of his projects.  Beyond his excellent technical and creative skills, Joe is darn fun to work with.  His irreverent sense of humor makes for an imminently enjoyable post-production experience."

I worked on the last 2 seasons of MonsterQuest for the History Channel

Here’s a piece I did with Glenn Miller to help save our local newspaper.

COMING THIS FALL to PBS and American Public Television

“ART of the Possible”

Mick Caouette struggled for 10 years to produce this wonderful piece. 

And I was there for a lot of it.

“After 12 years of documentary film making, I have not found a more skilled or professional editor than Joe Paolo.  He doesn't just listen, he hears and sees what i want to say.  he has a finely tuned intuitive sense that has been honed by years of experience.”
