We like to remind our applicants that this is an office internship where you will see more what happens inside of a state agency film commission.  We bring productions to the state and help with pre-production, but we do not produce content and are usually not involved on set or with active production.  If there is a project in town, we will make every effort to have an on set day, but it is not guaranteed.
