    Job Description

    If you live and breathe movies and love talking about movies, filmmaking, and storytelling, this is the place for you.

    We are a young and growing company, meaning there is lots of opportunity for your voice to be heard, but please note that this also means there is little to no budget. We do offer provide press access where we are able, but this is an UNPAID ​ position. Reviews will only be expected for films to which we are able to provide access (we do not reimburse tickets).

    We Should Talk More If...

    • You love movies and love talking about movies.
    • You’re excited by ideas and want to drive conversation surrounding movies and movie industry news.
    • You have demonstrable writing experience, including experience reviewing movies. Please send us two samples or direct links to samples of your best work. Applications without writing samples ​ will not be considered ​.
    • You live in N.Y.C. and are generally able to attend screenings in the evenings.
    • You’re awesome at internet research and know how to find reputable information about anything in just a few minutes.
    • You’re familiar with the film industry as a whole and understand running industry trends.

    We’ll Be Extra Excited If...

    • You’ve worked in the film industry or have prior experience covering the movies.
    • You know and/or are connected with a particular subsection of the film industry.
    • You’re familiar with things like Wordpress, Google Drive, Slack, and really basic HTML.
    • You’ve got a track record of developing unique feature and opinion content.
    • You can break down a movie and explain complex filmmaking decisions to a lay audience.

    Please tell us about yourself and submit a resume and two recent movie reviews (these do not need to be from official screenings) with the subject line "Review Writer" followed by the name of your favorite character from Star Wars so we know that you’ve read and understand all of the above posting and you are not a robot (although C-3PO and R2-D2 are still acceptable answers). This may be included with your cover letter.
