OUR PROGRAM

---

UTFI partners with Burnt Orange Productions, LLC to provide internship opportunities for UT students on feature films.  Based in the College of Communication , UTFI’s internships frequently lean on skills taught in CoC classes, but students from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. 

All UT students who are eligible to enroll for internship credit as part of their program of work are able to participate.  In addition to the Radio-TV-Film department, our interns have come from Theater and Dance, Architecture, Law, Business, Music, and others.

This unique internship program is structured to give students the opportunity to grow as their experience grows.  Undergraduates and graduates can serve as part time interns (link to Intern/Apprentice), learning the ropes on set and in the office and getting their feet wet in a department that interests them; full time interns and apprentices (link to Intern/Apprentice), who work as regular crew members, have greater responsibility and often serve as an assistant in a department; and finally as department heads (link to Our Interns) on “homegrown pictures (link to RTF 396/368),” making creative decisions and running their own crews.  UTFI encourages students to take more than one internship to expand their understanding of the filmmaking process and/or to deepen their understanding of an individual craft.

Although pre-production of the films does not always organically fit with the Fall, Spring, and Summer registration periods, UTFI strives to give students enough information to plan their semesters.  This site is updated as information becomes available to keep students informed about what positions are available.
