TV/Film Production & Screenwriting Internships (in the US)

Why do internships matter? Because as much as what you know (and what talent you can bring) will help you climb UP the ladder, you first need to land on a rung. That’s where internships can help. A well-placed internship is an opportunity to meet, connect, and network with potential employers (i.e. production companies, studios, etc.). While the following is by no means an exhaustive list, it’s a place to start if you’re currently in undergrad or graduate college and/or about to graduate.

Screenwriting Internships:
– Walt Disney Studios Screenwriting Internship
– NBC Writing Internship Program
