A bunch of people had emailed me asking if you could intern AND participate in the competition...the answer is yes, but the team you're on cannot win any awards (other than audience awards). To many filmmakers who just want to make a film & have it screened this is not a big deal; others want to be judged to have the chance to move on in the competition. So please consider this if you're thinking about becoming an intern.
Also, please email all resumes to cleveland@48hourfilm, and put 48HFP INTERN in the subject line, because I am old and easily confused. Many thanks!

Want to be involved in the film industry? This is your chance! The 48 Hour Film
Project is the largest international timed film competition. Last year's
contest took place in over 70 cities across the globe and ended at this
year's Miami International Film Festival with Filmapalooza, the national 48
Hour Film competition. This year the 48 Hour Film Project will return to
Cleveland where teams will have 48 hours to write, produce, and edit their short
films before they are screened at the Cedar Lee Theatre.
I'm currently seeking several interns to help out with this year's
competition. This is an unpaid internship, but an excellent chance to network
with the local film community, attend all of the 48HFP networking and
wrap
parties, and help out with an exciting competition weekend! Intern duties will
include marketing, helping secure sponsorship, recruiting filmmakers to
participate, helping organize networking and wrap parties, assisting in
mastering the finished films, and helping out at the film competition weekend
and screenings. The date for this year's contest has yet to be officially
announced, but will most likely be July 31-Aug 2, with screenings the following
Wednesday and Thursday. IMPORTANT: Interns have the ability to work from other
locations (i.e. if you're away at school right now) in the spring/early
summer, but interns MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR THE COMPETITION WEEKEND AND FOLLOWING
WEEK! Preference will be given to those who are also available
for the networking parties in the spring/early summer.

do NOT reply to this email!
Thanks!
