They are meant for you and your fellow interns to gain a basic understanding of on-set responsibilities, how to use our gear, and the different facets of media production at BW Productions. 

Community Workshops:

• Every other Wednesday, we open up our studio to the public to host Community Workshops at Cutthroat Grip, Lighting, & Stage. We bring in an industry professional to teach their specialty within the film industry to the community for free. As an intern, you are given the opportunity to set up and record these workshops as well as learn from and meet the professionals we bring in.

NON-PROFIT NARRATIVE

The Non-Profit Narrative serves as the final project of the internship, in which we partner with a Non-Profit organization to create a video promoting their cause. While you will receive ongoing guidance and support from your mentors, this project is an excellent opportunity to apply the skills you've developed during your six months with BW Productions. The interns will take ownership of this project from its initial conceptualization to the final delivery. Ultimately, the completed video will serve as a significant addition to both the intern's personal portfolio and the BW Productions portfolio.
