Intern - Publicity

This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship

Focus Features, part of NBC Universal, is a singular global company dedicated to producing, acquiring, financing, selling, and distributing original and daring films from emerging and established filmmakers – films that challenge mainstream moviegoers to embrace and enjoy voices and visions from around the world. The company operates as Focus Features domestically, and as Focus Features International overseas.

Publicity Interns in the busy, fast-paced domestic publicity department will have duties including “breaking” daily press clippings, monitoring Internet coverage, managing and organizing a periodicals library, pitching promotional partners, and overseeing research projects

Candidates should be detail-oriented, motivated, hard-working, have a desire to learn and must receive school credit.

Focus Interns must make a 90-day commitment and receive academic credit for their work. They must commit to at least two full days per week and provide a letter from a four-year accredited college or university stating that they will be receiving credit for their work at Focus Features. Interns must be at least 18 years of age and be a standing sophomore or above. Please note that all Focus Internships are unpaid.

Any Focus Intern candidate should show initiative and be open to learning. Candidates should also be computer-literate, must have in place a reliable way to commute to and from the office, work well in a professional office environment, and – last but not least – have a passion for movies.
