Work for Reason.tv!: Deadline Extended

2012 Searle Film Fellowship at Reason.tv 

Application Deadline: January 27, 2012 February 17, 2012

Reason.tv—the online video journalism project of the Reason Foundation—is seeking talented individuals interested in advancing the message of Free Minds and Free Markets through video journalism and related multimedia productions. Reason's top priority is talent: established and aspiring producers, videographers, editors, researchers, and marketing professionals will all be considered.  

The Searle Film Fellowship at Reason.tv is a year-long, full time position that gives aspiring video journalists the opportunity to create substantive, original content that explores the ideas of free minds and free markets.  Initial responsibilities will depend on experience and could range from research assistance to video editing to producing independent pieces to developing marketing and distribution plans.  Fellows will also participate in training in production techniques appropriate to their skill level. Fellowships are full-time salaried positions with benefits; salary will depend on experience.    

Resourcefulness, a willingness to pick up miscellaneous tasks, and reliability are a must. The ideal candidate will also have a strong interest in libertarian ideas, the field of documentary filmmaking or video journalism, familiarity with shooting and editing, and content distribution and marketing.

Applicants at any level of experience will be considered.  Individuals who are able to work from one of the Reason offices (in LA or DC) are preferred, but telecommuters will also be considered. To apply, please submit the following materials in a single pdf file via email to [e-mail] by January 27, 2012:

• A cover letter with a summary of your experience and an explanation of your interest in Reason.tv,
• A resume, including contact information for three references.
• Three one-page segment sketches you would like to produce (or help produce) at Reason.tv.  The format, style, and level of detail are at your discretion.    
• Samples of your work, if applicable to your level of experience. If available online, include links in the email; if you prefer to mail a reel, please send TWO copies to: Reason Foundation, Attn: Amy Pelletier, 3415 S Sepulveda Blvd, Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90034. 

Please direct questions about the fellowship and application process to Amy Pelletier at [e-mail].

They probably can't get any qualifying applicants and thus are extending the deadline.

If they would only open up to the alcoholics, sex offenders, pirates, chronic masturbators, meth addicts/distributors/producers, homosexual prostitutes, agoraphobic feliphiles, pornographers, and institutionalized they could probably get 3-4 applicants.

The miscellaneous tasks bit is a major deal breaker. I'm a bender, not a folder. Go somewhere else, leach.

Can I share a cubicle w/ Lucy? Can I spend my day photographing Lucy, taking and editing video of Lucy?

Do you guys not see how offputting the wording of this thing is? Many, many thousands of people can and would love to do Reason TV stuff, especially for money. And you're not talking to them. Pointedly not.

Repeatedly not.

In what way? I read and re-read the post & I still don't understand how they are doing what you say they are doing.

That's ok, You'd think there would be tons of thuggish, racist, corporatists lining up to work for free. Practice what you preach gentlemen.
