Hi! I just got asked to be the casting director for a new documentary series that photographer Danielle Levitt is creating in collaboration with Dazed Digital ( Dazed and Confused Magazine ). This is NOT about teenagers bedrooms or for The Do Not Enter Diaries. Danielle and her producing team are traveling all around the country to film day in life type stories. Rather, our focus is US teens who have unique passions, come from a compelling place socially/family, or are in general very forward thinking - we have a lot of teens in NY & LA so we’d love to get other places. Check out dazeddigital.com if you’re unfamiliar, and shoot me an email at emorlow@gmail.com or inbox me if you know someone who might be a good fit.
THE DO NOT ENTER DIARIES IS HIRING!
We are going off to college in the fall, and while we have NO intention of ending The Do Not Enter Diaries, with having to leave our own teenage bedrooms, we realize that it is time to bring on younger teens to help us keep this project afloat. Please pass our message on to any friends, siblings, or anyone else you think might fit this if you want to see The Do Not Enter Diaries keep going.
We are looking for two teenagers who can work great as a team: one who is interested in learning the filming/editing side of The Do Not Enter Diaries and the other who is interested in website management/ social media/ dealing with our subjects. AKA there are two positions available here— filming/editing (this is HUGE) or website/interviewing/social media.
Bringing you onto our team would mean that you’d be:
- Interested in shadowing us as we film future subjects
- Interested in shadowing Emily as she edits or Emma as she works on the site/outreach/social media/crafting questions (depending on which of the two positions you’re interested in).
- Meeting with Emily and Emma to learn more about The Do Not Enter Diaries philosophy
- Be able to make a long term commitment to our team.
You can apply for an individual position, OR, preferably, asa best friend duo, where one friend would be focusing on the filming/editingand the other on the site.
PLEASE NOTE: We are ONLY looking for teenagers UNDER THE AGE OF 17, who are fully committed to the potential of working for The Do Not Enter Diaries. Must be based in NYC. Contact us at donotenterdiaries@gmail.com , if interested or have any questions about the opportunities above.
xoxo
Emily and Emma
The Do Not Enter Diaries is a global webseries co-run by Emma Orlow and Emily Cohn, telling the stories of teenagers through their bedrooms. We currently post a new video every wednesday at 4PM EST, but will shortly be adding two more days. Monday will be our Correspondent’s Corner. Our DNED Correspondent Program is for teenagers with a strong interest in film to help us reach teens in areas to which we cannot travel. Correspondents are responsible for cultivating a unique group of teenagers whom they know, filming them in our style, and sending us the footage to edit as we see fit. If we are interested in having you sign on with us after you apply, we will send you specific guidelines on how to film your teen subjects. You can fill out the application to become a correspondent here. PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE WITH FRIENDS!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: I have exciting news! I’ve been working on this project for almost a year now, and I’m so happy that I can finally share it with y’all. My best friend Emily and I started an ongoing web series called The Do Not Enter Diaries, a project devoted to filming the stories of teenage bedrooms. The project was founded by Emily Cohn (who has interned for OC TV and is a Tribeca Film Institute Fellow) and myself (Emma Orlow, who has written for places such as Refinery29, BUST Magazine, and The Huffington Post) in January 2012. Emily films and edits the videos, while I interview the teens and run the website/social media. Together, The Do Not Enter Diaries takes you behind the closed doors of teenagers’ hideouts, everywhere from New York to Mumbai. It’s not launching till January 2013, but for now, you can check out our website (http://donotenterdiaries.com) for more info and watch the sneak peek.
MISSION STATEMENT:
As teenagers, there are so few spaces we can truly claim ownership to. However, a teenager’s bedroom, a magical haven for carving out ones’ personal style—- or more often a place for snacking, studying, and dancing—-says a lot about us. Here at The Do Not Enter Diaries, we believe that the bedroom is a physical manifestation of a diary. The choices we make in our room can say a lot about our aesthetics and philosophies on a deeper level than what sheet patterns we like. The Do Not Enter Diaries is meant for ALL teenagers—meaning we seek to highlight a diverse set of genders, ethnicities, interests, and locations on our site. We’ll be exploring how exactly our bedrooms contribute or contrast who we are as teenagers by uncovering a world kept behind closed doors. Plus, you might just find a little decorating inspiration along the way…
The Do Not Enter Diaries has filmed interviews on a national and global scale and hopes to film YOU next! To contact us, click here.
A NEW BEDROOM VIDEO WILL BE POSTED EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 4:00 PM EST, ON THE SITE’S HOMEPAGE, STARTING JANUARY 2013. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR SITE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR PREMIERE!!
