Love talking about films? Are you a budding film critic looking to get more experience on podcasts and in audio form?
We are looking for more contributors to join our regular team for our monthly film review show which is hosted on EHFM as well as on podcast channels.
No podcast/radio experience is necessary, though interest and enthusiasm in film is a must, and some experience in film criticism or film studies is a plus! We’re looking for people who are keen to be part of our rotating podcast team and is able to commit to a few shows a year reviewing films that we choose together currently out in cinemas. We also value fun, and make sure everyone enjoys the podcast experience!
There’s also an opportunity to conduct interviews and cover festivals as well, either at the EHFM studio or remotely.
Commitment and time is on a voluntary basis, based on your availability, but we’re hoping to add a few more to our regular team who would actively be interested in participating regularly on a rotating basis to make sure everyone gets a chance to participate across the year. Recordings are often done during on weekend afternoons, but sometimes in the evenings after 5 pm
Please email our Cinetopia Producer, Amanda, at [email protected], if you’re interested and want to discuss it further.
Please note: this is not a paid opportunity and is on a voluntary basis, as our radio show and podcast is not a money-making venture currently for Cinetopia. We, at Cinetopia, however, do try to promote your own work and work with up-and-coming critics to highlight their work and talent, and we really believe in collaborating with all voices across the industry. So, if you see this as a chance to learn from our team, get more involved in radio and podcasts, and/or get more exposure for your personal brand, we hope you’ll consider this opportunity!
The only aim of this game, is to win. For our October DOC: Club screening at the @thecameocinema , something a little different... and very timely...👀
Date to be confirmed shortly!
