Program – What do I get to do?
The Showrunner Camp is a one-week immersion program in television production. Crew members learn the skills needed to broadcast a live two-hour music concert, recorded in front of a studio audience. During the five day camp, the crew receive instruction from industry professionals and practice those skills is a working studio (making a live, public broadcast each day). Crew members become their own production company which, by week’s end, self-sufficiently produces (with on-screen credit) an episode of Juneau Live! Studio’s most popular series (10,000+ views), Alaska Music One Presents with at least four major, local bands, in front of a studio audience.
Crew members also practice skills learned in the studio by performing various tasks during the week and producing daily 4:00 pm live broadcasts. As the week progresses, all crew members will fill the production company roles necessary to produce the Friday broadcast. Depending on enrollment, crew members may be assigned to groups of five to six, balanced by ages and experience / interest, and will be assigned an advisor from the resident faculty and staff and will be assigned craft service and catering for a day during the week and one of the daily 3:30 pm live broadcasts.

Production Company Roles
As the week progresses, all crew members will fill the roles of their production company necessary to produce the Friday broadcast. Because the camp limits its focus to the skills and roles of a television production producing a regular live concert show, not all roles typically found in television production are needed. Additionally, because the roles are interdependent, crew members are expected to attend the entire program.
