In keeping with our mission and core values, Vanishing Angle's Internship Program is committed to nurturing and empowering young filmmakers by cultivating community and a culture of mutual respect, support, and collaboration.
Our program promotes professional growth and career development by extending opportunities to work directly with seasoned professionals on real-world film productions, while building meaningful relationships within our community. Our goal is to enable students to realize their unique voices in a challenging and competitive industry.
Vanishing Angle's Internship Program is for responsible, motivated, currently enrolled students who have a strong interest in the office and production side of filmmaking.
Because we are working on multiple film projects concurrently, our interns will have opportunities to gain experience in different stages of filmmaking.
Location:
This internship may be a combination of on-site and remote. Ideally, students can work at the office location 1-2 days per week for 4-5 hours at a time, but remote work is also possible for the right candidates. The office is located at 700 W. Calaveras Street, Altadena, CA 91001.
