Intern - Production & Development

This is a Full Time Unpaid Internship

Marty Katz Productions seeks individuals for a unique educational internship experience from November 2017 to April/May 2018 (5-6 months) at our office in Malibu. We are a feature film company that has produced many films including Titanic, Reindeer Games, Impostor, The Four Feathers, The Great Raid, and Love Ranch. Our interns work more as assistants than interns, giving you the best overall experience and preparing you for an entry-level job in the industry. Our past interns now work for Jerry Bruckheimer, John Turtletaub, David Kirkpatrick, CAA, CBS, MGM, and Disney, among others. Two of our former interns have sold scripts for close to $1 million dollars!

As part of this educational internship, you will learn how to read a script and do script coverage. Using Movie Magic Scheduling, we will teach you how to break down a script and make a preliminary production schedule. Using Movie Magic Budgeting, we will teach you how to read a film production budget. You will need to purchase Movie Magic Scheduling and Movie Magic Budgeting for your laptop so that you can continue to work on these projects from home, if necessary for completion. You will research development projects, help prepare lists of actors/writers/directors, give us your feedback on current projects and most of all LEARN how Hollywood runs. You will also learn how a film production office works during development and pre-production periods.

REQUIREMENTS: This is an EDUCATIONAL, UNPAID internship. Our program is designed primarily for recent college graduates who possess at least a Bachelor of Arts degree preferably in film related areas and are interested in pursuing a career in motion picture and/or television production. Our internships are FULL TIME for FIVE TO SIX MONTHS and are available year round. When limited Summer Internships are available, the candidate must be in process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree or higher. Our internships require a high level of commitment as well as extensive homework and therefore are available to individuals who are able to support themselves during the four months without outside work. You must possess a RELIABLE AUTOMOBILE, VALID CALIFORNIA DRIVERS LICENSE, PROOF OF INSURANCE, and CALIFORNIA AUTO REGISTRATION, and a VALID U.S. WORK PERMIT (if you are a non-U.S. resident). If you do not possess a California license or California auto registration, you can still start work and apply to the DMV to obtain these within 30 days. Our offices are in Malibu, so you must be able to commute daily from your residence, which, ideally, should not be more than one hour away. Once you have successfully completed your internship, we will advise you as to how to proceed to find a paying position in the entertainment industry.
