Here are just a few example roles our film interns have taken on before:
Production Assistant
Many young film professionals take on production assistant roles when they first enter the industry. Whether on a weekly news show or a feature-length film, these roles are quite competitive and do require technical skills demonstrated in a portfolio. Interns learn the ins and outs of producing a film, and develop a strong base knowledge of the various departments that contribute to production.
Script Writing
Editing and reviewing scripts is an exciting opportunity to contribute directly to a film’s final outcome, and to add to your portfolio. Interns hone their writing skills and learn how to write specifically for film, which is an incredibly valuable skill.
Public Relations
All films, from recurring shows to documentary series, need publicity. Public relations interns gain experience in the business side of the entertainment industry. They develop key communications skills by writing about films, producers, and production companies. They also begin to build a strong network in the film world through liaising with entertainment writers.
Social Media Management
Many remote internships in film include an element of social media management. Interns working on projects ranging from investigative documentaries to product advertisements may take over their production company’s social media platforms, or even take charge of creating new pages for upcoming projects.
