Applause New York
New York, NY

We’re looking for an actor/comedian with a big personality to direct comedy sketch-like short films, with kids ages 5-13 in our after school program!
With 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube, Applause New York has been a top YouTube Kids channel churning out viral comedy videos for over a decade. We’re looking for the next big star to lead classes, inspire our students, and direct these films as well as be a featured actor in them as well!
The brand’s vibe is old school Nickelodeon, SNL Shorts for kids, precocious and genuinely funny. We’re looking for someone to bring high energy, comedy chops, an ability in leading a group of budding young actors through the process of making a film, an ability to pull great performances from inexperienced young stars, and your own passion for moviemaking. Think Jack Black’s character in School of Rock—but instead of a concert and teaching music, it’s a movie and teaching acting through the creation of a movie!
Check out some of our shorts from the last decade (of various quality of equipment, as well as viral success but all consistent in terms of quality of work we are looking for) we think exemplify what we’re going for:
Rates start at $35 per hour-long class, with opportunities for growth. Classes take place weekly on the Upper East Side during weekday afternoons (After-school) and Saturday mornings. We are looking to place directors in at least 2 classes per week.
