Paid Internships in Film Production and Development
Taliesin Nexus —
Los Angeles, CA
Interested in a 3-month paid Hollywood internship? Or how about a free weekend workshop hosted at UCLA, with free room and board? Passionate about creating narratives that promote individual liberty?
Taliesin Nexus offers two programs this summer/fall:
1. Internships for three lucky applicants at production companies in the Los Angeles area
2. A weekend workshop (August 16-18) at UCLA for about two-dozen applicants, who will receive nuts-and-bolts training by some 20 seasoned Hollywood pros.
Seniors, graduate students, and recent grads with a demonstrated drive to pursue a creative career in screenwriting, directing or producing, and who exhibit a passion for expanding individual liberty, may be eligible.
In addition to a stipend to help cover living expenses, interns receive:
Mentoring
Possible travel assistance for Americans from outside Southern California (you must be a U.S. citizen or have a green card to participate).
Automatic acceptance in the August Filmmakers Workshop held at UCLA.
Only three internship slots are currently available. 1 or 2 will be placed this summer (with a probable starting time of late June/early July -- we are somewhat flexible), and the remaining interns will be placed in the fall, anytime between September and November. Previous interns have worked at leading production companies whose credits include the upcoming Noah with Russell Crowe, Elf, The Wedding Crashers, Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ, and The Stoning of Soraya M.
