Post Content: 6-8 Alberta-based writers needed for 2 upcoming 2021 series. Each series consists of 24 episodes, including 3-4 hours of pre-production research and outlining, and 3-5 hours of scripting post-filming, per episode. Following the completion of drafts for audit, writers will be asked to provide notes and fine-tuning for fine-cut drafts.

Because both series are filmed back-to-back, this may look like 3-5 months of consistent hours as writers work on both series. However, per series, hours will look like: 3-4 weeks of consistent, full-time hours during the research stage, 2-4 weeks of inactivity while principal photography occurs, and then another 4 weeks of full-time hours during the scripting stage.

Writers should be well-versed in three-act narrative structure, capable of managing their own time efficiently, and have access to Final Draft or other industry-standard scripting software. We pay $300/draft of script (which must meet quality standards) with 3 drafts budgeted for a series. Drafts include outlines, drafts for audit, and second drafts.
