What’s involved
A small team is developing a six-episode comedy miniseries built for social-first platforms — short, fast-paced episodes in the 1-2 minute range — and needs a writer to help shape the scripts. You should have a real feel for short-form, episodic storytelling: strong opening hooks, quick pacing, characters that click fast, and endings that pull viewers into the next episode. The humor needs to feel genuinely rooted in New York City life — references, rhythms, and situations that read as authentic rather than generic, so real familiarity with the city matters. To apply, send a few writing samples (scripts, scenes, produced videos, anything that shows comedic or short-form chops), a portfolio or resume, and your project quote.
