Internship with Experimental Documentary LGBT Filmmaker and Historian
I'm looking for an intern (unpaid) to assist me with cataloguing paper files, scanning archival film reviews and general overall organizing of my personal archive. This internship will involve a commitment of approximately 7-10 hours per week for 8-10 weeks, possibly longer, with work to be done primarily in my Bernal Heights home office ideally on Fridays and/or Saturdays.
I'm terrific at working with interns and giving solid value back to you in return — education, experience, connections and a great item to add to your resume — in exchange for your hard work. This is a unique opportunity for students interested in LGBT film history (part of the internship is related to my vintage LGBT movie poster collection and my decades of research on LGBT cinema). I am also a respected experimental documentary filmmaker (five time Sundance alum).
I need someone smart and reliable who has good organizational skills and can roll up their sleeves to work with a bunch of dusty old paper materials.
