About the Business of Film, Media & Journalism Intern Role:
As a business development intern, you will work one-on-one with the founder of TASTE, helping build up the business end of an internationally award-winning documentary series and food media startup. One day you might help pitch to investors and sponsors, and another day you’ll be liaising with filmmakers, creators, restaurateurs, chefs, and media. TASTE is a startup, so there are no set rules nor procedures. We don’t need a coffee-fetcher. What we are seeking are people who are hungry to share epic, yet intimate stories with the world; who have the creative ability to think nimbly and unconventionally; and who have the wherewithal to take action on their ideas. If you’re the type of person who is self-directed (a.k.a. likes to make their own recipes for getting big projects done), then you should apply.

- Help recruit creative talent for TASTE: filmmakers, editors, producers, composers, etc.
Researching and reaching out to potential investors, networks, media outlets, sponsors, stakeholders, clients, collaborators, media and press.
- Applicants should have a high attention to detail and be organized, motivated, and self-directed (this is essential!)
- Value doers over talkers.
- Accountable and eager to learn, grow and create with a fast-moving team.
