APPLICATION FOR SOUTH CAROLINA PRODUCTION INTERN PROGRAM
The South Carolina Film Commission (SCFC) and Trident Technical College (TTC) have teamed up to implement a Production Intern Program for residents seeking careers in production. All ages 18+ and backgrounds are eligible. The program provides real-world experience and exposure to a variety of departments on film and TV projects, and opportunities to develop relationships with department heads and established crew.
Interns are placed on a rolling basis, will be paid a daily stipend, and are expected to participate up to 60-hours a week for 4-6 weeks. Lodging, per diem, and other travel are not provided; Interns must have a place to stay in the shooting area of each project.
Below are more details on the program. APPLY HERE.
- Applicants must be 18 years old or older.
- Applicants do NOT have to be currently enrolled at TTC or any other education institution to be eligible.
- Any current South Carolina resident with some professional experience as outlined in their submitted resume is eligible. Resume MUST also include a reference from at least one production professional.
- Interns select their preferences for department in the application and will be matched to that department where possible.
- Start dates will be determined by the schedule of participating Productions and the availability of selected candidates. Those could occur any time during the year.
- Interns will be required to work 5-days a week for no more than 12-hours per day for up to 4-6 weeks. Exact schedule will depend on final production schedule and Productions’ needs. Interns will be paid a stipend of $120/day by TTC.
- Any Intern can be terminated by Production at any time for any reason sufficiently related to poor performance.
- Any Intern whose position requires driving a personal vehicle during the workday on errands for the Production will be paid a gas allowance or mileage by Production, following Production’s existing personal vehicle reimbursement procedures.
- In most cases no lodging or per diem will be provided to Interns. They will be placed with productions shooting in their home area where possible; otherwise they’ll be given the option to participate in other markets.
PLEASE NOTE: By agreement with participating Productions, only Interns with some production experience will be placed. All candidates must show some production experience and core production competencies on their required resume.
