Description:
• As a business development intern, you will work one-on-one with the founder of TASTE, helping build up the business end of an internationally award-winning documentary series and food media startup.
• One day you might help pitch to investors and sponsors, and another day you’ll be liaising with filmmakers, creators, restaurateurs, chefs, and media.
• TASTE is a startup, so there are no set rules nor procedures.
• We don’t need a coffee-fetcher. What we are seeking are people who are hungry to share epic, yet intimate stories with the world; who have the creative ability to think nimbly and unconventionally; and who have the wherewithal to take action on their ideas.
• If you’re the type of person who is self-directed (a.k.a. likes to make their own recipes for getting big projects done), then you should apply.
• Working with restaurants (especially in Manhattan, NY) as we plan and implement in-person TASTE film screenings, premieres, dinners, performances and events——what we like to call “TASTE: Film-to-Table” Events.
• Research and source archival footage and other media footage from independent creators, filmmakers, governments, archival institutions, media companies and more.
• Help recruit creative talent for TASTE: filmmakers, editors, producers, composers, etc. Researching and reaching out to potential investors, networks, media outlets, sponsors, stakeholders, clients, collaborators, media and press.
Requirements:
• an active student participating in an undergraduate program;
• an active student participating in a graduate program;
• a recent graduate within 10 years of graduation.
• Applicants should have a high attention to detail and be organized, motivated, and self-directed (this is essential!)
• Value doers over talkers.
• Accountable and eager to learn, grow and create with a fast-moving team.
• An understanding that the filmmaking and startup process is a team sport that takes time & dedication.
Benefits:
• You will receive college/educational credits for your work, if needed.
• Flexible location and times.
• The entire internship will be done remotely with flexible deadlines and work hours that will fit within your schedule.
• As long as an intern is making progress on his/her projects and putting in 100% effort, then we will make sure that project work hours and deadlines will be flexible according to the intern’s schedule.
