Details: 

The Salt Lake Film Society (SLFS) is producing a web-based transmedia talk show in conjunction with East Hollywood High School (EHHS). The purposes of the show are to promote the SLFS and EHHS, promote the films shown by the SLFS at the Broadway and Tower Theaters, encourage the watching of independent cinema, and build a local community of teenage cinephiles who love and discuss independent films.

Two student producer interns are needed to manage the show, write episode outlines, and oversee the social media outlets that will accompany the show. Four episodes will be shot each month. These four episodes will be filmed on the same day each month after school, probably at the Broadway Theater in Salt Lake City.

Student producers will report to the client (the SLFS) when it comes to content and quality. Students will be mentored and directly supervised by Josh Wagner and Will McAllister.

Specific Duties:

• Work up to but no more than 5 hours / week.
• Write the outlines for four episodes each month.
• Make sure that all logistics are in place in preparation for each episode. Logistics include preparing schedules; coordinating locations, talent, and crew; and generally doing whatever it takes to make sure each episode is ready.
• Create social media content and moderate social media conversations that happen in conjunction with the show.
• Oversee student production crew and editors who work on the show.
• Generally be in charge of the show and ensure each episode makes it from preproduction to production to postproduction to delivery on time.
