UPDATE 3/10/2010: The Fresh Fruit Pie Summer Entertainment Internship is here!
We’ve got something exciting brewing at Fresh Fruit Pie. Not something halfway exciting like most things, but really, truly exciting.
And this enticing nugget of news happens to be…(drumroll)…
A new Fresh Fruit Pie film internship program. Summer – 2010. That’s right. We’re opening the door to a few talented college students who want in on the action that’s coming with the release of Fresh Fruit Pie.
Looking for a way into the film industry? Our film internships will offer a fantastic way to break in. Film internships are as good as (or even better than) taking college film classes, because instead of playing made-up games in an academic environment, you’ll play real games in the real world, with real audiences and real risk.
Why are we doing this? One of the toughest parts about the film industry is its extremely competitive nature and difficulty of breaking in. It’s been said that getting a first job in the field is like trying out for the NBA – out of 100 applicants, maybe one will make it.
We’ve felt this pain ourselves. Been there. Done that. The same thought repeats over and over again: “If someone would just give me a chance to prove myself, I could really go far.”
But no one seems to be in the business of giving chances.
We’re going to change that.
We believe in giving chances. We believe in creating opportunities that help students stick out from the crowd, to be the one in 100 that’s selected for the job.
And how do we plan to do this? By offering summer internships that themselves stick out from the crowd.
Most internships are famous for wasting their candidates’ summers away with endless paper shuffling and coffee brewing. Instead, our interns will learn skills that are actually sought after in the entertainment industry: grassroots marketing and PR techniques, killer web content development, lean video production/distribution logistics, and much more.
We’re passionate about finding and nurturing future leaders, and if you qualify, you could very well be part of that vision. Along with creating amazing shows, we’re helping create a new generation of bright and savvy film professionals.
As we get closer to the release date of the series’ first episode, there will be a flurry of activity around Fresh Fruit Pie: parties, screenings, media blitzes, street team storms, you name it. If you’re a talented and eager college student highly interested in working in the entertainment industry, and you’re pumped to get swept into the frenzy that’s about to happen at Fresh Fruit Films, stay tuned to FreshFruitPie.com over the next few weeks as we finalize the announcements for our summer internships.
