January - April 2021 • St. Louis, MO
What I liked
Cinema St. Louis provided a friendly, welcoming, and driven environment. I got the opportunity to work on several different projects with different people.

Video Production Intern
January - May 2021 • St. Louis, MO
What I liked
I loved how I how much creative freedom freedom I was given. They were very collaborative and involved me in the process of coming up with different campaign and project ideas. I learned a lot about producing and how to sharpen my marketing and producing skills.
What I wish was different
It was mainly due to Covid, but having the opportunity to do more production and shooting would have been nice. Cinema St. Louis normally doesn't do as much production. More push or projects for video content or a better outline for a video production intern would be a good idea.
Advice
If you are looking more for a video production internship this is a good opportunity, however you will be learning more on the producing/creative side. If you are looking for something that could teach you more technical skills you may want to ask for more details. Regardless the people I worked under and with were very nice and a joy to work with, and it was a valuable experience that I'm happy to have on my resume.
