Distribution and marketing internship

Join Animate Projects as an intern and learn how artists’ animation reaches festivals, venues and audiences across the UK. This is a paid role for one day a week, remote working. We are offering three internships, each 5 months long, over the next 15 months. 

In this internship you will learn about the development, production and delivery of art projects and specifically independent, artists’ animation productions. You will be mentored by members of the Animate team.  

You will gain a greater understanding of the distribution networks for short film and animation, practical experience in using marketing tools to promote professional work and build audiences, and the opportunity to learn about the process of producing short animation first-hand.    

There may be opportunities to attend live events, meetings and screenings. Additional expenses will be paid for travel to events or meetings as required.
