Scout Productions -- the Emmy and Academy award winning production company behind Queer Eye (Netflix), Legendary (HBO Max), Say I Do (Netflix), and Equal (HBO Max) -- has a great opportunity for individuals who want to experience the television business from inside one of the top production companies in the industry. We are looking for a multi-tasker with excellent communication skills and an upbeat attitude to help our development team with long term projects and weekly tasks.

This role is expected to be about 10 hours per week running from September 7 - December 10th. This position will be hybrid in nature pending the status of Covid-19. We require any interns in the LA area to be vaccinated as office visits are highly likely. The position is unpaid and for college credit.
