video editor

TINFF · Virtual job based in Toronto, ON · $17.60 hourly

Verdict

TINFF is a legitimate, registered non-profit film festival with a reachable website and matching business/location details, which supports legitimacy. However, the posting uses a generic Gmail address (tinffcareers@gmail.com) instead of the official domain (tinffestival@gmail.com), and no careers section exists on their website. The $17.60/hr salary is unusually low for a professional video editor role, and the job description lacks detail about responsibilities, team, or specific deliverables. These factors—generic email contact, salary outlier, and vague posting—create moderate fraud risk despite the employer's real-world legitimacy.

    "summary": "TINFF is a real, registered non-profit film festival headquartered in Toronto, ON. Official website (tinff.net) is reachable and legitimate. However, the job posting uses \"tinffcareers@gmail.com\" while TINFF's official contact is \"tinffestival@gmail.com\". No careers/jobs section found on TINFF website. The posting offers a graphic designer role at $17.60/hr part-time—unusually low for a professional role. TINFF is primarily a film festival, not a typical employer of graphic designers, though they may hire for festival operations. The use of a generic Gmail address rather than official domain email is a moderate red flag."
