Interns at Kartemquin will have the opportunity to learn how a local non-profit media arts organization is run and how social issue documentary films are created, from development to distribution, all while collaborating with a team of filmmakers who have produced emotionally compelling, challenging, and socially relevant documentaries through thirty-two films in over forty years.
Internship duties comprise a healthy mix of office administration; business and finance administration; and assistance with current documentary projects. Project assistance takes many forms and can include: production work; post-production work; project management; project research; grant research/applications; and film festival submissions.
Autumn and spring term internships are part-time, unpaid and run approximately 18 weeks. In 2009, summer internships will also be part-time, unpaid and will run about 9 weeks.
Interns will be expected to work approximately 15-20 hours a week, preferably spending at least one full day a week at Kartemquin. All interns will schedule their time during normal business hours, 9:30-6:00, Monday-Friday (except when assisting at special events and shoots that take place outside of regular hours).
Specific tasks may include, but are not limited to:
*Assisting in area documentary shoots
*Research (festivals, grants, distribution and marketing, project related)
*Transcribing, dubbing, logging, other post-production support
*Preparing for, assisting in the implementation of, and attending local and in-house screenings and meetings
*Writing/editing/updating: KTQ info on the web, newsletter articles, press and PR materials, proposals
*Organizing and tracking sales, distribution
*General admin- shipping, filing, answering phones/door, database entry
Number of Intern positions per season: 2-4
Skills & Qualifications:
Prospective interns should share our vision of examining and critiquing society through the stories of real people. It is not necessary to have an extensive background in film or video production; however, organizational skills, a good sense of time management, and the ability to prioritize and juggle tasks are essential traits. Interns at Kartemquin will have many exciting learning opportunities; however they will be expected to do clerical work between big projects. Interns must be able to take initiative, see tasks to completion, and problem-solve; strong writing skills are a plus.
Applicants must be a junior or senior undergraduate student; a graduate student; or have graduated from college or grad school within 2 years of beginning the internship.
