Development internship at Smart Entertainment

Smart Entertainment is a management-production company. We manage mainly
writers and directors. Seth MacFarlane is a client (Family Guy, American
Dad), Ricky Blitt (Family Guy, The Ringer), David Dorfman (Anger
Management, My Boss's Daughter), among many others.

We are currently producing the Will Farrell-starer Blades of Glory for
DreamWorks-Paramount. Previously we have produced My Boss's Daughter,
The Ringer, and Anger Management. We are looking for energetic,
hard-working students who love movies, television, and reading, there
will be a lot of reading.

This is not an internship where they will be faxing, copying, filing.
They will be on phone calls with executives, reading submissions, in
direct contact with the producers and managers of this company (all 3 of
them). But they will be taken seriously. So much in fact, that the
intern we had last summer found the original script of Blades of Glory
in a pile he was reading. That film will be released next spring with a
huge marketing-publicity campaign. We have our hands in all aspects of
media and not only is Smart Entertainment a great place to learn, but
they'll be working with decent, intelligent, creative people (hard to
find in most companies in town).

Production internship with Vivendi Universal Games

I am producer for Vivendi Universal Games' Media Productions team, 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.
