Internships

We offer non-paid internships for a few BRAVEmakers. Could that be you? We have summer and year-long internships available. Why apply? It’s fun and it’s a great way to learn the ins and outs of the film industry. Do you need college credit? Look into your university’s policies to see if it could work for you.

This internship will give you first hand knowledge of the filmmaking process in all its glory and hard work. You’ll get experience screenwriting, developing, budgeting, pre-production, directing, producing, filming, editing and more! We have office space in Redwodo City, California but we will do work all up and down the peninsula from SF to San Jose and because of the pandemic, a lot of work can be done remote.

APPLY

(But during normal, safe working conditions in the summer, interns need to be available to come into the office least one day a week, 10am-5pm and we would prefer two days, with a maximum of five days and some weekend work/events).

We believe making films is the best way to learn how to make films. Meet BraveMaker’s executive director Tony Gapastione (Bio below).

I’ve been acting in the Bay Area for twenty years and for the past five I’ve been writing, directing, and producing my own films. Check out my two shorts on Amazon Prime: Neighbor and 1440 and Counting and my website (www.tonygap.com) for more about me.

I’m currently developing and fundraising for feature films as well as hosting monthly film screenings with filmmaker Q&A’s. I’ve launched BRAVEMAKER, an organization focused on making provocative, life changing media. I started this film (non-profit) company from the ground up and if selected, you get to join the movement help grow it. We have a large group of filmmakers who are banding together to create and make the Bay Area a place where filmmakers can both live and work! You can check out our new podcast on Apple, Stitcher, or Spotify where we interview creators on their work and process. Click here: BraveMaker podcast.

On the set of 1440 and Counting, a film starring Loretta Devine.

I never had the ability to go to film school. Being on set and making films was how I learned how to make movies. It’s not easy, but I love it and I want to share that love and hard work with others. During your internship we will be doing lots of short film work, docs, story videos, producing podcasts, hosting livestream shows and preparing our BraveMaker Film Fest.

The hours can be flexible (you can do editing work from home at at night) and you need to have your own transportation. Shooting and editing knowledge and experience a plus but a willingness to learn, work hard and be fun to work with is non-negotiable. (Start/End dates flexible for UC students and/or High School students). Watch this video from our first summer crew.
