![[homepage photo v2.jpg]] *This image proudly presented in native 1.43:1 [[The obsession with the IMAX aspect ratio is ridiculous|IMAX resolution]].* My name is Jesse and I'm a [film editor](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2931178/) in Los Angeles. I write about the things I notice on a Substack called [the look](https://www.thelook.blog/). I am the co-founder of CUT TO: Hollywood—an online course and community that teaches anyone how to break into the entertainment industry. I am the Creator + Event Architect at [A Curated Situation](https://www.acuratedsituation.com/), where I design and host gatherings that leave guests feeling more connected to themselves and others. I believe that [[🌲 The key to close friendships is proximity, repeated + unplanned interactions, and a safe space to confide in each other|making friends as an adult]] is a lost art that can—and should—be re-learned through a philosophy I call Social Fitness, which I offer [personal coaching](https://calendly.com/jessejchapman/socialfitness) for. 👋🏼 I can be reached at jesse j chapman at gmail dot com.
