A 360 APPROACH TO EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
OBB’s internship program offers a holistic approach to learning media production by combining educational programs with mentorship opportunities. With the desire to set our interns up for success, OBB embraces a mindful approach to job training by offering production experience, guest speaking engagements, networking and volunteer opportunities, resume workshops, and research projects.


RESPONSIBILITIES
OBB offers a Development & Production internship with opportunities to learn about film, television, branded content, podcasts, intellectual property, social media, legal, PR, and more. Interns also have the opportunity to specialize in one of the above areas to have a more tailored internship experience, should that be of personal interest or a requirement from their university. This internship is for active learners who are interested in broadening their horizons and drawing upon their knowledge, expertise, and unique interests to learn new skills. Here are some qualities we look for:

​

●  Motivation.

Our internship offers access to many facets of the industry and a self-starter attitude helps interns set goals and find the right forms of guidance at OBB and beyond.

​

●  Collaboration, not competition. 

Employees at OBB demonstrate a shared attitude of collaboration rather than competition and interns are expected to embody these values as well. Interns work on both group and individual projects every week.
 

●  Curiosity. 

We look for open-minded interns who have broad interests and specific passions. We design projects to encourage our interns to build expertise while at OBB.
Diverse skills and perspectives. 
We build a team of interns whose members bring a variety of experiences and outlooks to the table. There is no right way to enter the entertainment industry!
 

● Taste.

We’ll always ask what you’re watching and listening to, and are interested in your taste and opinions. Come through with a strong take and you’re bound to have a great discussion!
