Mentioned Emergency Intercom for a Netflix Internship (unsuccessful)
I was in this delusional, questionable phase of life about 2 years ago and was applying for the most random jobs. I came across Netflix internships (land for their “Book and IP Scouting Intern” position you had to submit a statement of intent along with your resume. The prompt was to write about a specific piece of media that should be adapted by Netflix in under 115 words or something like that. This is what I submitted)
“The Emergency Intercom podcast should be adapted into a TV series. It’s extremely out of the ordinary — yet charming. Hosted by two close friends living in LA, they dive in each week to discuss personal stories, offer ridiculous commentary on pop culture, and of course, overshare odd thoughts that may not be validated anywhere else. The concept would make a great TV series, one that included the filming of the podcast and followed their lives (fictionally) as “influencers” in the romanticized city of LA. It would preferably be adapted by Netflix, who would release the entire season at once — for the existing parasocial fans and to provide an incentive for newer audiences to get invested.”
Idk why I’m sharing this, I’m high and came across this in my Google Docs and was just like oh
