Filmmaking is collaborative. You’ve all seen the crawls on major motion pictures – yards and yards of names and departments. And all these people – writers, directors, producers, designers, costumers, cinematographers, camera folks, sound mixers, gaffers, grips, electrics, editors, colorists, composers, marketers, distributors – work together to make a film.
Which means there are jobs requiring different skills in many different departments:
Technical departments like Camera and Sound
Art departments like Set Design, Props, Costuming, Hair & Makeup Design
Writing and Directing departments under Script Supervisors and Assistant Directors
The Business end of film production - working under the Producer
Editing and Continuity - working in the Post Department
Promotion/Distribution - working with Social Media and Outreach
Acting – taking small roles in the film
Documentary Production – working with the unit documenting the production
We are looking for student interns to work under our professional cast and crew on the campus of Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY during the Summer term of 2024. You will receive credit on a WGA-SAG film. Scheduling will be flexible but given that 12-hour days are the norm in film production, count on being booked for a minimum of five, 5-hour sessions per week with the potential for more. You will be paid NYS minimum wage and can also receive course credit from your school depending on your school’s requirements. There may also be opportunities in the Spring and Fall TBD.
