We are looking for an enthusiastic intern with overall multi-media skills to assist our creative team.

Having production experience helps, but talent counts for more than experience, so please provide us with any links or examples of your work. The program allows the student to write, direct, shoot and edit viral videos as well as some engage in art direction and graphic design. Participating students will have published deliverables (for example: viral videos, on-line trailers, postcards, etc.) to show as part of their portfolio when applying for jobs or other internships. Office experience includes training in analyzing films, some basic administration duties and errands, engaging in social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc), as well as event production experience. The intern should have discipline, basic editing skills and a passion for film! An advanced sense of humor is essential.
