UFEG’s Make It Universal and Rotten Tomatoes have partnered to create the new “Seen on Screen” podcast hosted by Rotten Tomatoes awards editor Jacqueline Coley. The bi-weekly podcast offers a behind the scenes look into Universal productions and conversations with Universal employees about the impact of film on their lives.
“Seen on Screen” also aims to demystify the interworkings of the film industry to listeners. Episodes will showcase the many employment opportunities available across a major studio and highlight the diversity within the Universal staff.
“Movies have the unique ability to unite us – in them we either see a reflection of ourselves or they give us a window into perspectives and experiences that are unlike our own but are worth exploring,” said Dwight Caines, Universal Pictures president of domestic marketing. “The ‘Seen on Screen’ podcast celebrates the inclusive culture of our studio by putting a spotlight on the people who exemplify why Universal is a great place to work. We wanted to foster conversations about entertainment that allowed for meaningful reflection and revealed the impact of representation and inclusion.”
“I am thrilled to work with the Universal Filmed Entertainment Group on the new ‘Seen on Screen’ podcast,” said Coley. “Movies provide a magical experience, and I’m excited to meet and speak with Universal employees to learn what movies inspired, moved, and changed them for the better while playing some fun movie-themed games.”
