Job/Internship Opportunities

Attention All Television and Film Students:
Needed immediately: National Television Production Opportunity

In Touch With Communities Around the World, Inc (ITWC) is preparing to launch its most recent development within the upcoming months. ITWC's most recent development is a television production for a talk show that is geared towards youth and young adults. The topics will cover issues that youth and young adults (students) experience on a daily basis (participated and observed experience). It is the new “reality-television” approach, but with much sophistication and class. The shows will be pitched to the WORD Network for weekly airing. The WORD Network reaches more than 136 countries - going into more than 35 million homes world-wide.

Criteria:

• Must have some experience with television production (script writing and/or treatments).
• Must be willing to work a minimum of five hours per week on pre-production.
• Must be available to meet with producer for weekly meetings, which are generally on Wednesday mornings 10:00AM - 11:00AM.
• Must be available to work some evenings as it gets closer to production.
• Must be available to travel both short and long distance because of the kind of show that we are producing.

If you are interested and you have the above requirements, please contact Alexander ~lx~ Harris at 706.402.3367 (m) or 617.202.5163 (o) and e-mail: itwcmentor@yahoo.com

Video Podcast Needed for Retailer

Upscale craft studio and retail store, Spark Craft Studios, in Davis Square, Somerville is looking for a student to help produce a promotional video podcast. We would ideally post the video on our website and use it for promotional purposes (send it to television stations, etc.).

We have been very successful at generating publicity for our business since opening and are optimistic this will help create future PR possibilities. We are also optimistic that this opportunity will seem attractive to a BU Communications student as a resume builder or perhaps even as an independent study for school credit.
