I BEGAN MY CAREER AT CITY STAGE AS AN INTERN 12 YEARS AGO. MY SCHOOL EDUCATION TAUGHT ME THE TRADE OF FILM MAKING BUT THE INTERNSHIP GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE ACTUAL PODUCTION AND I LEARNED A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THE PRESENT INDUSTRY. RATHER THEN DEALING WITH ONE COMPANY AND THEIR LIMITATIONS THE INTERN WILL WORK, AND DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE MANY CLIENTS WE SERVICE. THE KNOWLEDGE THE INTERN WILL GAIN AND CONTACTS THEY MAKE WILL BE CRITICAL TO THEIR SUCCESS AFTER GRADUATION

CURRENT INTERN'S NOTE:
This internship is a great opportunity for anyone interested in film and TV. Instead of working for one large name Production Company, City Stage gives you the opportunity to work for multiple companies (MTV, ESPN, BBC America, VH1 ext.). Unlike most internships, you will have hands on work everyday and learn how various production work.
