Virginia Film Office Internships 2020

Internships at the VFO

We are looking for Film Lovers with an interest in production and the process of attracting projects. We love creatives with strong writing and administrative skills and a flexible, open schedule. Since this is a non-paying internship, every effort is made to tailor the internship around work and school schedules whenever possible. However, it is required that all interns be able to set and maintain their work hours, so that projects can be planned and carried out. A minimum of 10 work hours a week is required from each intern, and it is best if this can be in increments of 4 or more hours at a time. The Film Office is happy to work with any academic institutions if the internship is taken for academic credit.

The best candidates for the internship are recent graduates who live within 50 miles of our Richmond office and have reliable transportation. Interns are usually university students in film or a related field; however adult and high school students will be considered on a case by case basis.

Important note about internships: As of March 2014, George Mason University may no longer arrange for academic credit through internships completed in Maryland. This relates directly to a policy passed by the Maryland Higher Education Commission. Some exceptions exist for federal agencies and cases when prior and explicit approval for the university to operate in that state has been obtained.
