Cultural Attaché Head Case: Super Producer’s Thirst for Endless Knowledge

Here’s one the UTA job list conveniently left out this week:

Cultural Attaché needed for A-List producer at major production company. Qualified candidates will be well versed in knowledge in general, several languages, heavy phones, submissions, calendar, travel, be personal friends with a vast array of physicists, Nobel Laureates, Trained chefs, soap makers, veterans and artisans and be fluent in explaining exactly what it is that a “delegate” does. Responsibilities include teaching, expanding, translating and philosophizing on everything that an intelligent producer should probably know, you know? Must have three years agency experience. Top five preferred. Salary DOE – which is a lot because you have experienced pretty much everything that life has to offer.

Waxy haired super producer Brian Grazer is hiring – and no, it’s not an executive assistant position. It’s a cultural attaché position. What – you haven’t heard of that? It’s one of those gigs that pretty much most agency partners and high profile studio heads are privy to. Hell, even ol’ Lew Wasserman had a cultural attaché back in the day! In fact, Wasserman started the cultural attaché mentorship program, where aspiring attachés could intern in the famed MCA building, and learn to cover scripts, procure knowledge, answer phones and expound endless tidbits of art, medicine and politics to high power executives at the drop of a hat.

While the Beautiful Mind producer’s staff of twenty continues to meet with candidates, Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment partner Ron Howard continues his search to replace his long-standing, traveling personal novel condenser and urban planning consultant. [Variety]
