INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
We seek highly energetic and motivated interns to assist in both the production office, in the editing suite and on location for 13 weeks.  The intern will learn about the business of production as well as gain hands-on experience with the opportunity to assist with all the aspects of a production from set up to wrap.  Interns will have the chance to experience pre-production planning such as helping location and client research, casting calls, client relationships, scripting, budgeting, and scheduling.  Production opportunities include accompanying the crew on field productions and assisting with set up and wrap, equipment set up, shooting, talent coordination, make-up and wardrobe assistance, time management, and location contacts.  Post-production exposure includes assisting with edits, effects, graphics, audio, logging tape, transcription, and dubbing tape.  Previous experience in production is helpful, but not required.  Current students in the field are highly encouraged to apply for this non-paying internship and must be enrolled in a college or university that will issue school credit.
