> SPRING INTERNSHIPS
>  
> Production internship with VU Games' Media Productions
>  
> Vivendi Universal Games' Media Productions team is an in-house group
> responsible for producing TV spots, trailers, bonus content,
> behind-the-scenes specials, and other "traditional media" tied to VUG's
> slate of games.  Recently we produced for MTV and Spike TV a half-hour
> special about 50 Cent, his empire, and his video game.  Currently we are
> recording voiceover performances for our upcoming Scarface game and
> working closely with our partner Fox on a game based on their
> holiday-'06 film, Eragon.  In short, we produce everything at VUG except
> the games.
>  
> We are looking to fill at least one intern position in our group.  Our
> work is very post-heavy with frequent diversions into the world of
> production and crosses the high-tech world of emerging digital and
> interactive media with traditional shooting and editing.  We are seeking
> an intern who has a strong interest in games as well as an interest in
> or knowledge of basic film/TV production.  (I am hoping, after we have
> thrown open the door, other departments will bring on interns and give
> them exposure in other areas, including hands-on game production.)  The
> position will require some administrative chores (filing, tape shelving)
> as well as some on-the-fly hands-on assignments (music recommendations,
> set PA work).  We are a very busy, friendly, and egalitarian team who
> welcome good ideas and strong contributions from any and all staffers.

> SUMMER INTERNSHIPS
>  
> Summer internship with WB-based Dylan Sellers Productions
>  
> We're looking for smart, ambitious, UCLA students (preferably writers,
> directors, or producers) who are looking for in-town internships for
> this summer. I work for Dylan Sellers, a feature film producer based at
> Warner Brothers. Dylan Sellers Productions has 25 or so feature films
> set up at studios all over town. We also have television pilots at FX
> and Showtime networks. Dylan has produced a dozen films, including the
> Cody Banks movies, A Cinderella Story, The Replacements, Passenger 57,
> and many others. He formerly worked as President of Jerry Bruckheimer
> Productions, and as an Executive Vice President at 20th Century Fox
> (where he oversaw There's Something About Mary, Nine Months, The
> Crucible, and many other films), before coming over for an independent
> producing deal at Warner Brothers.  
>  
> It is a small office (it's only Dylan, VP Production Jesse Ehrman, and
> myself) with a lot of projects, and this summer we're moving towards
> production on several projects and could use some help in the office.
> There is no pay available, but interns would be able to come to work
> here, driving onto the Warner Brothers Lot in Burbank. If there is a way
> to arrange for them to receive course credit at UCLA for their help, I'm
> sure we can arrange that on our end. 
>  
> Duties will include: reading submitted scripts and books, writing
> coverage of them, reading drafts of active projects and assisting in
> creating notes for the screenwriters. There will also be some phone
> calls, deliveries, filing, printing, photocopying, and other office
> work. The interns will most frequently work directly with me and Jesse
> Ehrman, but also with Dylan as need be. 
>  
> Ideally, we are looking for one intern to be available to work as an
> in-office intern. And ideally, we'd also like to find one or two interns
> to work outside of the office (more flexibly scheduled) reading and
> writing coverage. The more work they are willing to put in, the more
> they will get out of it, both experientially and in exposure to a
> successful Hollywood producer. When we have a movie go into active
> production, the opportunities for paid work as we set up a production
> office would first be available to interns who we already have a
> relationship with. Obviously there are no guarantees, but if the interns
> impress me, Jesse, or Dylan they will be in a great position to advance
> in our company as it grows.
>  
> To submit resumes and cover letters, they can fax to me at (818)
> 954-4190, or email me directly at neal.dodson at warnerbros.com.  Be sure
> to put "UCLA Internship" in the email heading or on the fax cover sheet.
> I will get in touch with them when I receive their application.

> Marketing internship with TriStar Pictures
>  
> TriStar Pictures offers this intensive work-study program for six to ten
> upper level undergrad or masters program students seeking professional
> experience in film marketing.  Concentrating primarily on marketing with
> exposure to production and acquisitions, interns gain hands on
> experience in promotions, publicity, creative advertising, project
> tracking, coverage, and the general operations of a large studio system.
> Interns work as a team and individually to create and implement
> promotional campaigns for multiple films at a time.  Bi-monthly meetings
> with management provide discussion time to review projects and ask
> questions about the entertainment industry in general.  The core
> workload is about 50% back-up administrative support and 50% project
> management with an emphasis on independent thinking, responsibility, and
> initiative. 
>  
> TriStar Pictures is a small division (mini studio) within the Sony
> Pictures Entertainment family.  The department produces and/or acquires
> three to four feature films per year while marketing six to eight.  With
> only ten executives responsible for both marketing and production,
> interns experience one on one interaction in a challenging and positive
> training environment.  This is not the stereotypical "entertainment
> industry" internship.  Students are treated with respect as a valuable
> asset to the department, representing key insight to the demographic
> they generally represent.  Likewise, the expectations of both
> professionalism and work ethic are high.  The duration of the internship
> is usually between four to six months, thus sometimes spanning two
> semesters.  This allows the interns to see the fruits of their labor on
> large-scale marketing campaigns that generally last over six months.
> Some interns return from year to year for more specialized project work.
> Qualified graduates have gone on to assume assistant jobs or coordinator
> jobs at the studio and at production companies on and off the lot.
>  
> QUALIFICATIONS:
>  
> Course work in film, marketing, business, communications, or prior
> entertainment related internship or experience preferred. Must have good
> communication skills and a proficient knowledge of PC computer systems;
> Excel, Word and Internet Explorer are essential.  Must have a good
> attitude and eagerness to learn, with a professional demeanor.
> Qualified candidates need to be enrolled in an accredited university or
> college that offers course credit to interns.  Candidate must be able to
> provide letter or class schedule showing eligibility and must be
> available for a minimum of sixteen work hours per week.
