A2.6 Producer Internship
Every six months ScreenWest provides an opportunity for an early to mid career producer to work at ScreenWest as a Producer Intern. The Producer Intern works closely with the Director, Production Development to advance Western Australia as a competitive, creative and culturally distinctive centre for screen production.
The Intern position is intended to provide an excellent opportunity for selected Western Australian screen practitioners to gain fast tracked practical experience through a range of screen industry funding processes, including:
- collating production funding applications;
- taking part in funding assessment processes;
- analyzing production reports;
- providing background research for ScreenWest policy and strategy development;
- and the person appointed will provide a point of liaison for practitioners with ScreenWest, particularly for the early and emerging sector.
The position is only open to Western Australian-resident filmmakers with some producing experience. Please refer to the General Guidelines for a definition of WA residency.
Successful applicants are selected by a panel convened by ScreenWest. Applicants are required to provide both written and oral responses to a set of selection criteria.
The Producer Intern is contracted as a member of ScreenWest staff during their internship. They are paid a salary and receive public service entitlements during this period.
Currently ScreenWest has an annual intake in which two applicants are chosen, each for six month internships. The next intake will be early in the 2007/8 financial year.
