Intern - Film/TV Production & Film Packaging

This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship

Animal Kingdom, the Crown Heights-based production company behind The Dead Don't Die, Short Term 12, It Follows, Paterson, and more, is hiring four interns to join our team this fall:

• 2 Film Production & Development Interns
• 1 TV Production & Development Intern
• 1 Film Sales & Packaging Intern

Over the course of the semester, our hope is that each intern will not only learn how a production company operates, but also refine their critical thinking and creative analysis skills by contributing thoughtful notes on potential projects (including, but not limited to, scripts, books, plays, and films).

The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, quick-thinking, flexible, and eager to learn. This person should demonstrate superlative attention to detail at all times and a can-do, no-job-is-too-small attitude. They should also be a voracious reader and watcher.

Interns from each department will be invited to a monthly breakfast series with each of our department heads (Film, TV, Sales & Packaging, et al.) to better understand all of the various components that comprise a growing multimedia company.

Interns will work 2-3 days/wk (to be scheduled around class schedules) and work ~12-15 hrs/wk.
