“Working in media is my passion, and Media Composer and Pro Tools opened doors, helping me take projects and companies to the next level.”

Josh Young, film/TV editor, musician, studio owner, music licensing entrepreneur

When editor Josh Young (Big Brother, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, The Bachelor) isn’t busy editing, his focus expands in multiple directions, from making and placing music to running a music/post studio. Now he wants to help you—students and the next generation of media professionals—on your journey through three mentoring Q&A sessions. Get real-world advice from someone living the career of your dreams.

Whether you want to work in film/TV or music, send your best question to Josh using the form. He’ll then provide answers in a video—posted here and on our Avid for Students Facebook page (where you can hang out with our student community)—according to the schedule* below. Plus, everyone who registers gets a chance to win a copy of Media Composer 6.5, Pro Tools 10, or Sibelius 7**.
