2009 NB Films Writer Internships

by NB Films, Inc.


We are accepting submissions from dedicated writers who are looking for opportunities to practice their craft and push themselves creatively in a positive and collaborative fashion. Selected writers will join our current team and work on the creation of episodic television and web-series episodes. Participating in our internships will provide selected writers with resume-building experience as they earn valuable writing credits. They will experience the benefit of working with other writers in a fun and collaborative environment.

We will provide writers with a letter of recommendation upon completion of their internship. We will also work with university faculty to facilitate school credit, if desired. Currently, writing internships are non-paid. As development of our projects progress, participation may qualify writers for paid staff positions. Internship status, however, does not guarantee a paid position. Interns may also secure additional writing opportunities as future television seasons and web series are developed.

INTERNSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Our projects have gained significant interest from several, major, motion-picture and television studios. As a result, we are looking for writers whose interest and dedication allow them to fill the following requirements:

- Writers must be able to commit 20 hours per week to the writing internship.
- Writers will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement & internship contract.
- Writers must be able to attend a writer’s meeting once every week (approx. 2 hours) in Salt Lake City.
- Writers will be asked to post ideas and critique team member writing assignments on our online forum during the week.
- Writers must be able to handle constructive criticism from peers and work closely with other team members.

We are focused on high-quality, meaningful, character-centric storytelling. Providing depth and insight into the project’s world and characters is paramount. Writers should have a firm grasp of their craft, understand scene value-charge, beat/sequence/act construction, be able to create meaningful story conflict and produce up to five pages of work per week. Familiarity with motion picture screenplay formatting a plus, but not necessary. We are primarily interested in a strong work ethic, original ideas and meaningful collaboration within the writing team.

If you feel you meet these qualifications, please submit your information and include writing samples: writers@nbfilms.com
