Minpunten
You’ll be doing the bulk of the pre production work and won’t be credited on it later. You’ll get a production assistant credit for above the line type work. You are doing much of the leg work for projects without any pay. You have to do research for projects, contact people in the film, set up the interviews and coordinate equipment and location details. Work i do as a producer, not as an intern who isn’t being paid. While this is good experience to get, it feels as if this company is taking advantage of its interns. Boss had interns doing personal errands for him, like cleaning his home office in Connecticut, or sitting in his car outside while he’s in a meeting. He also doesn’t listen to your ideas. He’ll give you an assignment and when you have the opportunity to update him on your work, he won’t listen and then will tell you to do exactly what you’ve just told him you’ve done. There’s also a weird sense that you’re pitted against your fellow interns for a job that doesn’t allow you any room to grow. This internship put a bad taste in my mouth for my field that i am very much in love with.
