These videos range from simple editing to scripted content which the intern will have to write and shoot. The intern will develop his communication and storytelling skills, improve his editing skills, and learn how to effectively coordinate and work within an international team.

From time to time, we organise events outside of working hours: that can be in the evening or over the weekend. It won’t be mandatory for the interns to help or to attend those events, but it is strongly recommended as it is a good chance to meet people working in the film industry, do networking and bonding with the ÉCU team. However, If your internship will take place during the Festival you will be required to work during the Festival’s weekend: those hours will then be taken off your schedule the following week.
