Alkemy X Internship Program
The Alkemy X Internship Program provides students with the unique opportunity to join and learn from a
well-established and dynamic media company. Interns will gain experience and exposure in a variety of
departments: Administration, Development, Creative/Copywriting, Production, Editorial and VFX.
Interns gain hands-on experience; learning and understanding the capabilities of basic editing software (i.e Avid,
Final Cut, Premier, etc), shadowing a producer, transforming an idea into a TV show, and the importance of social
media processes and strategy.
Structure
Whilst at Alkemy X interns will engage in a series of tasks and responsibilities. Prior to their arrival, interns
will be assigned a mentor, whom will act as their primary advisor when in the office.
Interns will always have someone supervising them in every department to make sure the procedures and reason
for all tasks are clear. Interns may or may not observe and experience all Alkemy X departments. Alkemy X
encourages interns to ask the artists, designers, engineers, editors, account executives and producers any and all
questions.
During their down time, interns will have the opportunity to work on other projects assigned to them, observe an
assistant editor and/or VFX edits.
In addition to their responsibilities, interns will meet once a week with their mentor to discuss their development,
