Description
PROJECT INFORMATION:
We’re entering another phase in our project and have a need for intern storyboard artists. A voice track is under construction and should be available in a few weeks. We managed to license nine songs from three Texas based bands for the project. Though we don’t have a budget, we have been getting some media coverage since we’ve been collaborating with speedskaters and musicians: (For all involved in the project, any earnings during the pre-production phase to construct a storyboard test film will be divided up. Storyboard artists will recieve 30% total. If there are three artists, then each artist gets 10% each; two artists get 15% each)

The story is about a brash speedskater who’s challenged by returning to competition if he trains a high-functioning autistic who’s struggling to get into a pre-Olympic speedskating program.

We need at least three artists to collaborate over the summer on this project. This is a project through Amazon Studios; this is similar to Project Greenlight. If we win the test film prize, you will get a healthy percentage of the winnings. Contact John Carr at jtc.carr@gmail.com for details.
Contact information – please send queries to jtc.carr@gmail.com
Worst case, you’ll have a portfolio, be in a very high visibility project within the speedskating community, and get your name out to more indie filmmakers.

Responsibilities
Must be a team player and work in a diverse environment. We have people working in Canada, Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan and Texas. The illustrator will work closely with the film producer and director to construct a storyboard based on the dialogue track, action in the script, and licensed music from Ashley Sailer, Carrie Solomon, and Rose of Jericho.
These storyboards do not need to be color, but they need to be clear enough to understand what takes place visually within the scene.
Requirements
Access to a comuter with internet connections and a scanner. Please show some of your storyboard samples. We are interested in interns who are studying art, graphic design, or film in college.
