Icon Productions is an independent motion picture production company founded in August 1989. Unlike most other independents, Icon is a small company that allows interns to work in close proximity with creative executives. Listed above is a few of the projects we’ve produced. For more information on us or our projects, please visit www.iconmovies.com.

Interns work directly with the Features Assistant, who spends a good deal of time overseeing their work. Icon is very committed to helping our interns individually in the areas where they have the most interest. Our production office is a busy place, and we’re looking for someone smart, hands-on, eager, and is a fast learner. Interns spend most of their time reading scripts (1 or 2 per week) and writing coverage on them. Near the end of the program, interns have the opportunity to speak with executives about scripts and fine- tuning their ability to pitch and discuss stories. Daily duties also include covering phones and helping with administrative tasks like organizing and filing.

To apply, please email us your cover letter and résumé to David Kwong at dkwong@icon-films.com. Specify which semester you are applying for and provide the date when you can start as well as the days you are available to work.
