Has anyone worked for Apple? I'm a huge fan of the Apple studio films and would kill to be able to be in the writer's room or on set for their films. What does it take? It feels like I have to be a genius and that working there would be way out of my reach. I know that mindset won't get me anywhere, but in your experience, is it true you need something truly outstanding to stand a chance of working there?

They buy or commission work through third party production companies for the most part. If you work at Apple, odds are you’re working on the marketing of said projects. If you want to be a show/feature writer, working on an Apple property will most likely occur through the same means as any other studio property.

👆This is the correct answer.

If we’re talking specifically about Apple’s marketing: in my case, they tried to hire me after I had made a very famous piece of work and won some of the biggest industry awards. Not saying that’s the only path in, just that it was the moment I came onto their radar.

Are you glad looking back that you walked away? Why/why not

definitely competitive, but it’s less about being a genius and more about passion, creativity, and persistence. Having standout work or connections helps, but showing you can bring fresh ideas and collaborate well goes a long way. Don’t let the "out of reach" feeling stop you.

Go to an Ivy. Write for the college comedy rag. Join the comedy “dinner club” or whatever your school calls it. Get a job because of that. Profit.

True but going back to college/an Ivy isn’t really a feasible option for a lot of folks here, especially in this economy

You mean like their entertainment, not advertising? I think you just need to have a good writing packet to get a job as an entertainment writer.
