About us: 

Beyond the Marquee is not owned by a huge company or under the umbrella of any major media conglomerate.  BeyondtheMarquee.com is an independently-run site created and managed by an inner-circle of close friends who are experienced Producers, Writers, Editors, Actors and Directors living and working in Los Angeles and around the world.  The majority of our team members work in Hollywood at the major  film and television studios and our connections to the industry and amazing people who work there run deep. Our goal is to share our passion and interest in the magic of Hollywood with others who share those similar interests.  We fully enjoy taking the reader/viewer into unique places most other media outlets overlook or are not privy to.

The current open positions are volunteer based, but there are always fun perks to the job which include opportunities to attend advance screenings of movies, partake in set visits and cool behind-the-scenes shoots with not just celebrities but also some of the top A-list people, places, things and events in and around Hollywood. The positions we are seeking to fill include, but are not limited to:

—————————————————————————————————————–

On-Camera Host/Reporter:

Our popular Internet web-series takes our viewing audience on an exclusive first-hand, behind-the-scenes experience into the heart of Hollywood. From red carpet events, press junkets, one-on-one celebrity interviews, private tours, hands-on demonstrations, TV/Film related fan conventions and much more.   We are looking for proven on-camera talent with a quick wit, knowledge and passion about the world of entertainment.  Must have an outgoing personality, able to research facts and trivia that can add to the story, self-motivated and possess adequate prior on-camera experience.  Must be willing to take direction yet be bold enough to think outside of the box to deliver professional and exciting content to our viewers. Candidates will also need to be able to write a general recap of their experience to accompany the video post when the segment airs, so excellent writing skills and research ability go hand-in-hand with this position.

Application requirements for this position:

* Please submit a link to an online talent reel or send a video file of your best work attached to your e-mail.

* Two writing samples of an article, review or similar piece of work that demonstrates your writing talent.

Home Video (Blu-ray/DVD) Reviewer:

We have no shortage when it comes to getting the latest Blu-rays and DVD’s from various movie studios including Walt Disney Studios, Warner Brothers and Paramount. We have the privilege to review these titles weeks before the rest of the public gets to see them and all we have to do is write up an honest and detailed review of the discs mentioning such important factors as Picture and Sound Quality and Special Features. As a bonus, in most cases, we generally get to add the title to our personal home library when finished.

Application requirements for this position:

* Two writing samples of an article, review or similar piece of work that demonstrates your writing talent.

Weekly TV Series Reviewer:

Are you a huge fan of shows like “The Walking Dead”, “Game of Thrones”, “Breaking Bad”, etc.? Instead of spending time following an episode discussing storylines, likes and dislikes in an anonymous online chat room forum or Facebook posts; make your opinion count and have it be seen by thousands of fellow fans who can appreciate your particular take on the matter. We are looking for a candidate who can commit to writing weekly or bi-weekly about a popular network or cable series and turn a concise article around in a timely recap/review by the next morning.

Application requirements for this position:

* Two writing samples of an article or similar piece of work that demonstrates your writing talent about the world of Star Trek.

Movie Poster Critic: 

In addition to reporting on the latest movie news, we also have a deep appreciation for the various print marketing campaigns that go into the releasing of a film.

Instrumental scores carry a feature film or television show from start to finish and we here at Beyond the Marquee have a passion for focusing on the talent that goes beyond the visual. For those who have a critical ear for current and upcoming instrumental movie themes and pop song-compilation soundtracks and want to voice your opinion, reach out to us.  We’re looking for people who can review on newly-released soundtracks or bring a spotlight to the rare and classic gems of music soundtracks out there .

This is a great chance to sharpen your journalism skills with a weekly column on the topic of your choice.

Entertainment News & Press-Release Writer:

Entertainment news happens every minute and we are looking for someone who has their pulse on the beat of Hollywood.  We are looking for someone who can briefly edit and post timely updates on breaking television and movie news as it is released from the studios.  Various press releases on related entertainment topics are submitted to us that at times may need to be re-written and posted to our site.  A writer backed by an excellent command of English and grammar skills and ability to edit text quickly is what we’re looking for.
