- WORKING WITH US -
We receive numerous internship and PA requests, as well as many inquiries from individuals interested in camera work. While we'd love to work with as many passionate people as possible, we carefully select based on project needs and team fit. When considering new collaborators, we look for:
A tenacious, unwavering passion for film
Humility and hunger to learn
Original work(s) you've created and produced
How well do you fit with our crew (we usually do one or two test shoots to check for crew mojo)
Portfolio presentation and personality fit over traditional resumes
Ability to listen well and be easily trainable
