Part- Time JOB Opening in NYC

Red Square Productions is currently seeking someone to work part-time in educational outreach and distribution for our award-winning documentary film, My Perestroika.

My Perestroika follows five ordinary Russians living in extraordinary times – from their sheltered Soviet childhood, to the collapse of the Soviet Union during their teenage years, to the constantly shifting political landscape of post-Soviet Russia. Together, these childhood classmates paint a complex picture of the dreams and disillusionment of those raised behind the Iron Curtain.

The film had its world Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to many international festivals. It was released in cinemas in over 60 cities in the US and is currently being released in Canada. My Perestroika aired nationwide on PBS in 2011 and is a New York Times Critics' Pick.

We need a go-getter who is excited to get a behind-the-scenes look at the independent film distribution market and is able to coordinate interaction with academic organizations and community groups. A minimum commitment of 3 months is required, 3 days a week beginning as soon as possible. Candidate should have his/her own laptop.
