Intern - TV Development

This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship

Description:
Back Roads Entertainment is an entertainment company in Austin, TX. We have produced shows such as the Emmy-Award nominated ''Lake Life'' on DIY, ''Joking Off'' on MTV, ''Big Bad BBQ Brawl'' on Cooking Channel, ''50 Central'' on BET, and much more.
Back Roads Interns will be involved in Development. Interns will learn research and development techniques for unscripted projects, keep up to date on buzz-worthy news and trends and learn how to develop and pitch original formats to the creative team. Interns will also be integral to the process of finding the perfect talent for format-driven and talent-driven shows by helping in both researching specific populations and learning how to vet and interview potential talent. Interns will gain first-hand experience on how to create development materials: from one-sheets, to decks, to sizzles.
Back Roads Interns will also be engaged in a weekly Master Class program to learn various steps and stages of development, and will pitch their own original ideas directly to the company's Founder and development team. The semester culminates in a Final Project where each intern creates a deck for one of their own ideas and pitches it directly to the development team.
Contact us: Please send your resume, cover letter, and your 3 favorite unscripted shows.
