Description
Film productions are often long-term projects involving many people. The most enjoyable part, of course, are the shooting days. However, a lot of preparations have to be made beforehand. DotInk Cinema is a very small production company. As an intern, you can closely observe all the steps of the production process. You get the chance to work closely with many professionals in the film industry, allowing you to quickly build a network. Our previous interns have been accepted into institutions such as the Dutch Film Academy or have become independent professionals in the film industry after working with us for a while.

Filmmaking isn't all about the glitter and glamour of the red carpet. Just as much office work is involved as work on location. We appreciate proactivity and don't shy away from phone calls. Furthermore, we have a very open organization where everyone is welcome, and inclusivity and diversity are important to us. Please take a look at our website and watch our films on NPO Start. Please note: we are a production company. For example, you won't be doing directing, camerawork, or editing. We exclusively work on projects for cinema, so if you're interested in TV or commercials, this might not be the right place for you.
