This Internship seeks to educate students on best practices in the Commercial, Television, and Digital Engagement production fields. The selected interns will play a role in all stages of the production process. They'll learn about the Pre-Production steps that are required to bring a script from paper to the camera. They'll gain experience on professional sets by working with St. Louis' most talented and experienced production crews, and they will even receive opportunities to perform post-production editing. Additionally, the students will also gain hands-on experience by working with Coolfire's Development Team as they produce sizzle tapes and treatments to be sold to television networks like Discovery+, HGTV, History Channel and Netflix. The selected interns will each play a role in the initial research, brainstorming, and production. You will see how a TV series goes from initial idea to final export.
