Intern - Documentary Film

Insignia Films is seeking a New York based intern with an interest in film production, documentary development, and journalism.
This is a great opportunity for students looking to get practical experience in long-form documentary film development and production. Interns will be involved with project research, production planning, assisting on set on production days, and assisting with post production & archival research, among other areas. We are also open to shaping the internship around your interests.

Previous Insignia Films productions include the landmark PBS series The West and Reporting America at War, as well as a four part series for PBS on American Veterans and over a dozen films for PBS's history series, American Experience. In addition, we have produced Ailey, Free Money, Red Heaven, Into The Canyon, a four part series on veterans in America, and a documentary on the secret history of Monopoly. We are currently in development on a number of projects, and love to have our interns get first hand experience in the development process by joining meetings and pitching their ideas.

Interns will assist on a variety of post-production, development, research and administrative tasks. Interns are generally assigned to a specific movie, in which they will develop a particular set of responsibilities. Self-advocacy, attention to detail and diligence are key to a generative internship.

Interns are asked to commit to at least two full days per week. Insignia offers a daily stipend of $20 and course credit where applicable.
Applicants must be current undergraduate and/or graduate students. Recent graduates will, unfortunately, not be considered. Ideally, we are looking for someone who can start in early September 2025.

We do not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, ancestry, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, Veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law.
