David Stern and Stuart Gibbs, Screenwriting Team
Because these writers' schedules are always in flux they can not predict exactly what they will be working on next summer, but the following are things an intern can expect to work on:
- Help with writing duties including reading drafts and offering ideas and brainstorming with the writers. They will welcome ideas and input.
- In addition, there will be some office work. This will give the intern insight into how these writers careers work and give the intern a chance to meet some agents and other important people.
Ultimately, this internship will give a budding writer a unique look at how things work on the writing end and an opportunity to receive constructive criticism on their work to help them get a head start in this business.
Possible projects that the intern would be asked to help with are:
- A TV series for Nickelodeon . If all goes well, the pilot will shoot in January -- and if all goes /really/ well, the series will begin production next summer.
- A movie slated to shoot next spring or summer in Massachusetts.
- A Disney Channel movie (from an idea by Stan Lee -- of Spiderman, Hulk, X-Men & Fantastic Four fame)
- A book that is coming out in 2010, and may still need some final edits next summer.
- Several animated projects, one for Dreamworks and a few for Sony.
- A stage musical slated to go into previews in Seattle next summer.
- If a movie or TV show is going next summer (always a long shot; that's the business). The intern might be more involved with the whatever's going on on-set.
