Intern - Film Production

This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship

Big Beach is a New York-based company that produces independent films, documentaries and works for the stage. Big Beach’s mission is to create meaningful, life-affirming projects that inspire, engage and entertain. We are currently seeking interns for Fall 2011.

Big Beach has produced several independent films including JACK GOES BOATING, AWAY WE GO, SHERRYBABY, and LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and will be releasing OUR IDIOT BROTHER this August.

Big Beach is looking for interns who can commit to coming in two days a week. This is a very small company and interns work closely with all members of the company. Although interns will be asked to fulfill general administrative duties including copying scripts, filing, sending faxes, inquiring about acquisition rights, answering phones, and running errands, they will also have the opportunity to read scripts and voice opinions. As there are currently two films in production, interns play an especially important role in supporting the staff at this time.

QUALIFICATIONS:
All majors are welcome, but a strong interest in learning about the many facets of feature film development and production is required. The ability to read a script and write coverage detailing whether or not it may be right for the company is also necessary. We are looking for motivated, organized interns with positive attitudes and excellent communication skills who are able to work well in a busy office environment. Interns will not only gain an understanding of the inner workings of a production company, but also have the opportunity to see the film industry from an insider’s seat. Must have strong working knowledge of all MS Office programs (Word, Excel, etc) and be proficient on MAC.

Type of Internship: Development/ Production/ Administrative Assistant Internship; Unpaid
Hours: Min. 2 days a week, from 10am-6pm
