The Boxee team is growing!
We just signed a lease for a new office just off Union Square in NYC and we’d like to fill our big, beautifully-lit space with bright, enthusiastic and idealistic people to help us build a company that will dramatically change the way we use televisions.
First up, we’re looking for a creative chief to conceive and design all aspects of our company’s interface, from the actual look, feel and concept of the Boxee software to the stickers and t-shirts we give to our users.
The ideal candidate can have any level of experience, but must show a unique voice and willingness to push the limits. As a company we lead not follow, and this must be apparent in our design. You’ll work directly with me to pull this off.
Our compensation is competitive, and we offer a health package that will make your mind melt, and then heal it immediately. This is an exceptionally special company when it comes to taking care of its employees.
If you’re interested, please send me a short bio and a list of things you’ve made: zach@boxee.tv

Star Wars: Uncut is nearly complete (96%)! In the next few weeks I’ll be creating a new experience that will allow you to easily enjoy all the incredible scenes people have created. Participants will also have the chance to earn badges like the one above designed by Malcolm Sutherland.

What’s unique about all Whiskerino photos is that they are unedited. No photoshopping allowed. I love the amount of creativity this limitation creates.

Star Wars: Uncut on NPR. Thanks to David Nogueras for putting this piece together.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret…
This is kind of how Star Wars: Uncut came to be. While working at Vimeo, I was toying around with the idea of creating a collaborative tool for film makers and using it to create a film. A tool that would help organize the film crew, actors, assets, etc. This tool would most likely be very complicated to build, so my brain automatically defaulted to the common denominator. Think of the easiest way to create a feature-length film. Split a movie into pieces and crowd-source it.
There are many permutations and evolutions of this model that could be greatly beneficial to the film community. I think this specific model has been most useful to budding film makers who are finding a creative outlet and even their fifteen seconds of fame.
Thanks for the article, Scott!
