Intern - Narrative Development

This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship

Participant Media is seeking students interested in collaborating creatively with our narrative feature department. In an effort to reach and entertain broader audiences while still highlighting important social issues, the narrative department is now developing films across all genres, including comedies, dramas, action, family films, and even horror, along with the character-driven films that we are known for, such as THE HELP, THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL, and GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK. Working closely with the narrative staff, interns will actively aid the development process by conducting issue-based research, reviewing submitted material, and completing comprehensive script coverage. Applicants must have a thorough understanding of story structure and an ability to complete clear and concise coverage. Interns will gain practical experience by performing typical tasks of entertainment assistants and will communicate directly and often with our executives, giving them a chance to improve their creative development skills and gain industry knowledge from seasoned professionals. In addition, interns will collaborate with each other on special projects and presentations and have access to ''Brown Bag'' speaker series where they can hear from other departments within the company, such as social action, marketing, and finance.

Requirements:
• Must be comfortable with handling phones, as well as occasional scheduling and professional office correspondence for department executives.
• Previous experience with script coverage a plus. If you have previous coverage, please submit a copy with your resume and cover letter.

** Students MUST be eligible to receive school credit.
