Interships

INTERNS
Interns will be working with NM Independent Producer/Director
Peter M. Kershaw of Santa Fe’s Duchy Parade Films LLC.

Duchy Parade Films LLC are looking for the following 5 placements:

Assistant to the Director
Here’s a chance to shadow the director through the filming days and stages leading up to production, a real opportunity to gain access and insight into a director’s thought process. Intern must be willing to be available, keen to gain experience and have good interpersonal skills. Ideally, they should drive and have access to their own vehicle. Familiarity with computers is an advantage. Anticipation, observant and ability to focus on what is going on are essential. We’ll be looking to place someone in this position as early as possible.

Camera Department Assistant
Filming will be a 2-camera shoot with the main camera being a steadicam. Interns will also work with NM DP Anders Uhl. Intern needs to be a team player with an enthusiasm to learn. Role will vary on set but will involve support to either camera team or assisting the DP with lighting. Stamina and some strength are essential but patience and an ability to focus attention; concentrate and a good eye are key. You’ll be on your feet a lot.

Sound Department Assistant
Sound will be a mix of boom and radio mics. This is a drama piece with a number of speaking actor parts. My personal belief is people watch by listening so sound is crucial to the filming process. This is a real opportunity to learn and interns need to have a genuine interest in sound and the use of sound. There may be an additional opportunity to be involved in post and the film’s sound design. This internship may appeal to those already involved in sound production or with sound experience such as working with a band or producing music/radio.

Stills Photographer
For those who may have considered working as a still photographer on film production this is a great opportunity to work with a director. A chance to work out a strategy and understand the different uses and application for still production and a chance to learn on set discipline for a stills photographer. Interns should have access to a camera, have a good visual eye for what makes a photograph, be able to work independently and as directed. And good people skills.

Publicity & Marketing
In May I’ll be shooting the comedy/drama WHAT? I’m interested in working with someone with a genuine interest in the ever-growing area of film promotion. Producer P&M is one of the newest and fastest developing industry roles. This Internship we are looking to put in place as soon as possible. The right Intern would need to devise a strategy for promotion in collaboration. The role would include writing pieces for the press, web, social media, doing interviews, & co-ordinating with stills. The Intern working on P&M will in part define their role but this is a genuine chance to be creative and requires someone with real imagination, team player capable of generating fresh ways of seeing, with writing skills. Some interest/experience in design or graphics would be an advantage.
