JOB POSTING: New Reality TV series looking for ONLY THE BEST Story Producers! Strong story sense is a plus.

You must be available to begin Monday, however, production might not start for another 2, 3, or even 4 weeks from now. Just keep your schedule clear and be ready when we call you. If, after the interview, you don’t hear from us, that means that you may or may not have gotten the job. If you call us wondering if you got the job, we will not return your call until the day we need you. If you are lucky enough to get the job, you’ll sign a contract granting us the right to sue you if you quit, and the right to fire you without notice.

The budget for this show is really small, so don’t expect to get the same rate you’re accustomed to getting on other Reality shows. They may have told you the same thing when you took those shows, but we’re serious, our budget is really, really small. But, it’s a long gig, and it’s a big, high-concept show for one of the big-three networks, with millions and millions of dollars already sunk into promotion. So, if it doesn’t get cancelled after the first week, it’ll be great to have on your resume.

There are currently 10 executive producers, all taking a handsome share off the top for themselves, and a few more may get a piece before we go into production. So there’s not much money left right now, and we need to spread it really thin. The Network has also promised the Line Producer a percentage of whatever is left over if he brings it in under budget. So if you find that you need a pick-up scene, or a late-night camera operator, you should know right now that the Line Producer will consider that an attempt on your part to take his money.

You’ll be in the field for the shoot, then in post where you’ll do your own string-outs. These are one-hour episodes, but may become 90-minute or 2-hour episodes, depending on how long the strike continues. Regardless, you’ll have 5 days to finish the rough-cut. For each episode the creative executive of the company will give you a round of notes before it goes to the executive of the company we’ve partnered with. Then you’ll do a round of notes from the show creator and his wife, before the Network gives their notes. Just don’t contradict any Network notes, because ultimately their notes are the only ones that matter.

Email your resume ASAP.
