THE SOUTH CAROLINA PRODUCTION INTERN PROGRAM
The South Carolina Film Commission (SCFC) and Trident Technical College (TTC) have teamed up to implement a Production Intern Program for residents seeking careers in the industry. All ages 18+ and backgrounds are eligible. The program provides real-world experience and exposure to a variety of departments on film and TV projects, and opportunities to develop relationships with existing production professionals
Interns are placed on a rolling basis, paid a daily stipend, and are expected to participate up to 60-hours a week for 4-6 weeks. Lodging, per diem, and other travel are not provided; Interns must have a place to stay in the shooting area of each project.
Below are more details on the program. APPLY HERE.
Applicants must be 18 years old or older.
Applicants do NOT have to be currently enrolled at TTC or any other education institution to be eligible.
Any current South Carolina resident with some professional experience as outlined in their submitted resume is eligible. Resume MUST also include a reference from at least one production professional.
Interns select their preferences for department in the application and will be matched to that department where possible.
Start dates will be determined by the schedule of participating Productions and the availability of selected candidates. Those could occur any time during the year.
Interns will be required to work 5-days a week for no more than 12-hours per day for up to 4-6 weeks. Exact schedule will depend on final production schedule and Productions’ needs. Interns will be paid a stipend of $120/day by TTC.
Any Intern can be terminated by Production at any time for any reason sufficiently related to poor performance.
PLEASE NOTE: By agreement with participating Productions, only Interns with some production experience will be placed. All candidates must show some production experience and core production competencies on their required resume.

The number of positions available are determined by the projects shooting in the state and their capacity for Interns. Selection of Interns is purely at the discretion of SCFC, TTC and the participating Productions.
