Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The great thing about my role is that it changes from day-to-day. I am in charge of reading scripts and assessing if they are good enough to consider for TV development. Alongside this I also get to join development meetings, creative talks, and much more.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility. I loved it! As the first Scripted Development Intern at NBCUniversal the role was really what I made of it!

I have learnt and developed so many new skills here. I now know how to confidently run meetings with agents and writers; I can put together a pitch deck; proof read scripts; write coverage on scripts; pitch ideas in meetings; give coherent presentations and that isn't even the half of it!
