Job Description
This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship
Sobini Films is looking for a talent discovery intern to help us find the next generation of talented filmmakers. This role is built for someone who lives on YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and the wider internet, and who can spot a distinctive voice before everyone else. Your focus will be in the horror and comedy space: short films, web series, sketches, and anything else that shows real promise from emerging creators.
If you're chronically online with great taste, this is a chance to put both to work and help a production company discover rising talent.
Details:
Compensation: Unpaid position // School Credit only
Start Date: ASAP
Duration: TBD
Time Commitment: 5-15 hours per week
Location: Remote with in-person opportunities if located in LA
Responsibilities:
- Scout YouTube and other digital platforms (Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, festival & other short film communities, etc) for emerging filmmakers and creators in horror and comedy.
- Build and maintain a running database of discoveries, including links, a short write-up of each creator's voice and strengths, audience size and engagement, and any representation or past credits.
- Flag breakout videos, rising channels, and emerging trends in horror and comedy before they hit the mainstream.
- Prepare a weekly list of top finds to share with the development team.
Who You Are:
- Chronically online, with a deep understanding of internet culture, creator communities, and where new talent surfaces.
- A genuine fan of horror and comedy, with strong opinions and the taste to back them up
- Able to articulate why a filmmaker's work stands out, not just that you like it
- Curious, self-directed, and organized enough to track a large volume of work
- Comfortable with research with documenting your findings clearly.
Requirements:
- Applicants must be currently enrolled as a student and able to complete the internship for college credit. Proof of enrollment, college credit eligibility, and a signed NDA will be required if selected.
