Job description

About Changing Lives Productions

Changing Lives Productions is the in-house video production company of Dhar Mann Studios, the #1 creator of scripted positive content online. With over 163 million followers and 45+ billion views across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, our videos receive more than 1 billion views each month. We produce several hours of original content weekly with messages of compassion, kindness, and altruism that resonate with viewers of all ages. Our stories tackle real-life challenges and deliver powerful life lessons that resonate with global audiences.

Founded by Dhar Mann, named the “Moral Philosopher of YouTube” by The New York Times, a Time Top 100 Creator, and ranked #2 on Forbes’ 2025 Top Creators list—our founding principle is simple but ambitious: We’re not just telling stories. We’re changing lives.


BIG PICTURE:

We are looking for a temporary / seasonal Script Formatter/Reviewer whose primary job is to review a high volume of scripts, ensuring formatting, continuity, and story logic are sound. This role  is a bridge between the writing department and pre-production department and reports to the Senior Producer at Dhar Mann Studios. 


HOW YOU’LL SPEND YOUR TIME:

  • Read multiple episodic, half-hour scripts daily. With your incredible attention to detail, you will be able to notice even the most minor of continuity errors in script (regarding characters in scenes, their wardrobe, props, scene header locations, and story logic) and correct them as you read. 


WHAT YOU HAVE:

  • You are a screenwriter, script supervisor, or script coordinator (2-4 years experience) with extreme attention to detail. You will review our half-hour episodic scripts to ensure proper continuity for wardrobe, props, characters, and story logic, and to flag scenes that are logistically impractical to produce (e.g. a scene set in a location we don't have access to, like a domed planetarium).
  • Must haves:
    • Great pattern recognition — we format our scripts in a specific way, and someone who can quickly understand systems and is able to identify errors and mistakes on the page will be successful in this role.
    • Understands scripted production — you can read a script and have a sense of the complexity or scale of the production! 
    • You are a quick but thorough reader with a keen eye and memory for detail. 


WHO OVERSEES YOU:

You will report directly to the Senior Producer. This is a contract role till end of November. 


WHERE IT ALL GOES DOWN:

All the action takes place at our studio in Burbank, CA!


WHEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS:

This is an in house role and the hours are somewhat flexible but will be discussed.


WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US:

  • Competitive Pay: $25/hr, commensurate with experience.
  • Elite Talent: We maintain an exceptionally high hiring bar—you’ll be collaborating with some of the best creative minds in the industry.
  • Fast-Track Impact: As our content scales, you’ll have the autonomy to take on significant responsibility and accelerate your professional growth.
  • Studio Culture: We provide a high-energy, supportive environment with catered lunches, a fully stocked kitchen, and a team-first atmosphere
