Full Job Description
Company Description
mxdwn is an online music and entertainment magazine with news, reviews and features about the latest and best in modern entertainment.
Job Description
If you live and breathe movies
and love talking about movies, filmmaking, and storytelling, this is
the place for you. Editorial writers are expected to be highly
interactive with the critical
conversation surrounding industry
trends, pieces of movie news, and (especially) new and recent
releases.
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 L.A. or New York 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 (like if
you’re
the Lion King of all things Disney animation).
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 or editorials
with the subject line
"Review/Editorial 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).
Additional Information
All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
