Advice

I gained valuable insights into how the film industry operates, whether you are pursuing screenwriting, cinematography, editing, directing, gaffer, key grip, or other roles. If you are applying for film internships, I recommend engaging with your colleagues, being attentive, not overcomplicating your workload, keeping up with deadlines and tasks, and maintaining open communication with interns and mentors. This is crucial when networking with clients and pursuing a career in the film industry.

Intern

August - November 2023 • Miami, FL

What I liked

Though remote, the interns were nice to work with.

What I wish was different

More leadership and clear communication from the employer. The employer was also very passive aggressive at times and had been caught making racist comments about an intern to another person. A lot of the projects assigned were individual, but with how little leadership there was from the employer, it feel like the interns were doing free labor.

Advice

There's not much consistency, which hinders the efficiency of the program, so having that improved would be very beneficial. Personally, would not recommend this internship.

I wish I had been a little more hands on with the camera but I found a different role.

Intern

July - October 2023 • Miami, FL

What I liked

Being a music major, it was different working in the film sector. I learned new information that can be applied to the music industry.

What I wish was different

Everyone should have been treated equally. Also, there should have been more consistency from the director that was in charge of the internship. There were many times when a scheduled meeting would start later than scheduled or would be completely rescheduled. The director was not supportive most of the time and relied on us to literally do all the work for his projects. Another intern made a review agreeing that he was using the interns for free labor. The treatment I received was not the best and other interns I spoke with noticed it as well. The director is misogynistic and racist. He definitely does not believe in giving women of color a fair shot.

Advice

I advise if you are a woman of color do not apply for this internship. The director will not respect you and will gaslight you at every turn. Do not feel obligated to work at an internship that does not value you.

I love that the internship offered me various opportunities in different sects of film, from development, to marketing and financing, to production, and so on. But there was a multitude of work to develop my skills in, and there was no shortage of such. I had the opportunity to meet with many talented people, all dedicated to the craft, and prepare for my career.

Make sure to keep time management in mind; the sooner that projects and assignments are completed, the further you'll be able to go with them.
