Story Producers x 3
On location in South America
STORY PRODUCERS NEEDED FOR NEW ADVENTURE SERIES
Location: Rainforest in South America
We are seeking 3 Story producers to help shape a new survival format. Their job will be to plan in advance for stories that may evolve from our cast who will be surviving in a very remote and tricky environment. Their role will be to identify stories and narratives we can follow in the edit.
You must have:
· Proven experience working on reality/contestant lead series, ideally in the adventure/survival genre e.g. The Island, I'm a Celebrity, Hunted, Mutiny etc.
· A great editorial brain, will be adept at finding narratives in amongst the rushes and identifying storylines as the shoot progresses.
· Will be happy working in a reactive way, so they will be able to plan for stories, but also follow storylines as they evolve, predict/ anticipate reactions, and have ideas and encourage more stories - then they must be accurate at reporting those narratives to the show-runner and Series producer to help weave them into the series as a whole.
· Must be good at understanding how people 'tick' and getting to know the cast so as to know how they may react in certain situations.
· Must be able to communicate the stories well, as well as being organised about knowing what we have and what we still need in terms of coverage and keeping on top of the logging system.
· Must be happy to work in remote and tough terrain as most of the job will be working in the rainforest.
· The shoot is set mid-Sept to mid- October - so please only apply if those dates work

· Previous work with US broadcasters (not essential)
· Working on previous 'High risk' / remote productions.
