HUNT FOR TELEVISION'S NEXT GENERATION OF COMMUNICATORS

Well this looks good, I am all for more entertaining television =)

Due Date: Mon, 16 March

........................................................................................


WANTED: The next generation of broadcasters to produce an irreverent TV and web program about serious things.



ABC TV and Zapruder's other films - the people who brought the Chaser team to TV, and the creative force behind The Gruen Transfer and ENOUGH ROPE with Andrew Denton - are now actively looking for creative young people who are original thinkers with a view about what's happening in the world.



Andrew Denton, the show's Co-Executive Producer said: "We are looking for people keen to rattle some cages and receive mail beginning with the words 'Dear Sir or Madam, I have never been so outraged in all my life'. It's not just on-air talent we're after. This is a great opportunity for a new and talented team, across several disciplines, to build a TV and web program from the ground up."



Project NEXT, the working title of this new topical 10 x 30min program, will be on your screens later this year - on ABC1, ABC2, the web, mobile phones and on-line.



Series Producer Andy Nehl said: "We want to open the door to a new generation of communicators and performers, to find people who will abandon the usual definitions and who can look at the world in a different way. These are people who know in their hearts that there's more to the news cycle than we are being fed each week."



WHO CAN APPLY: applications are welcome from people aged 18-30 to work as reporters, producers, camera/directors, editors, graphic artists, researchers and web content producers.



HOW TO APPLY: go to projectnext.net.au for the application form. Deadline is close of business Monday March 16, 2009.



Project NEXT is a Zapruder's other films and ABC TV Arts, Entertainment and Comedy co-production.
