Fall Paid Intern - Marketing and PR

This is a Full Time Paid Internship

Fall Paid Intern - Marketing & PR
Cinetic Media New York NY

Cinetic Marketing 2025
Marketing & PR Intern
New York, NY

ABOUT THE POSITION:
The ideal candidate is interested in learning about the promotional life cycle of a film—from festival premieres through awards season—and has a passion for contemporary independent cinema, foreign language films, and documentaries. Interns will have the opportunity to learn about PR directly from publicists through weekly breakout meetings and collaboration on publicity projects.

Attention to detail, strong verbal communication, and analytical writing skills are essential. Applicants should be self-starters, energetic, and have a strong work ethic. Candidates must feel confident that they are able to familiarize themselves with our clients and titles.

Prior internship experience in the film industry is a plus, but not necessary. This internship will be a hybrid position, both in-person in NYC and remote, with an immediate target start date.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Assisting the publicity teams with campaign tracking documents, including status reports, RSVP grids, critics grids, and festival wrap reports.
- Helping the Press Breaks team monitor press coverage of our titles in major print and online publications, as well as on social media, and compiling and organizing this coverage for clients.
- Performing thorough, out-of-the-box research for new press contacts and maintaining our internal database in Constant Contact.
- Performing awards voter research and tracking awards campaigns (e.g., AMPAS, NYFCC) for titles.
- Creating press invitations and other graphics files via Adobe Creative Suite as required.
- Optionally attend after-hours press screenings and events to help junior and senior publicists with on-the-ground staffing.
