DOCUMENTARY PRODUCTION INTERNSHIP
A Part-Time Unpaid Internship Position is available with Creative Filmmakers Association, an award winning documentary production company based in Cleveland, Ohio.
Creative Filmmakers Association (CFA) was incorporated in 1992 by its founder Laura Paglin. CFA’s documentary and narrative productions have aired on public television and HBO/Cinemax, been distributed internationally to the educational market and have been shown theatrically in the US and Canada. They have screened at prestigious national and international film festivals – including Sundance – and have won national and international awards.
This is an enormous and exciting opportunity to work with seasoned professionals on an intense social issue documentary for national broadcast. Depending on his or her skills, the intern will have the opportunity to assist on all aspects of production – from shooting to editing.
Applicant must:
- Be completely reliable (show up on time, answer messages promptly)
- Be trustworthy
- Have a flexible schedule
- Have access to a car
- Have excellent social skills (be a team player who can go with the flow)
- Be physically fit (able to carry equipment when necessary)
- Have some production background – but we will train on the specifics.

Key criteria for programs that can be exempted from paying minimum wage:
1. The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;
2. The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern;
3. The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff;
4. The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded;
5. The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship; and
6. The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
