Company List Film/ Entertainment Before You Begin Use this list of companies to begin your internship or job search in the entertainment industry. The list is broad and includes companies in film and television (development, production, distribution, equipment, agencies), animation, advertising, and more. As you review the list, consider your internship or job search strategy. If you’re searching for an internship, you will have a shorter, targeted list. If you’re searching for full-time employment, you may want to consider creating a list of your favorite companies, a list of companies that you would enjoy working at, and an alternate company list. We advise exploring and applying to opportunities at all of the companies on your list. Take this scenario You’ve just graduated from ArtCenter with a BFA or MFA in Film and your concentration was cinematography. • Plan A Your main goal is to apply to freelance Director of Photography roles that you find through Staff Me Up, Mandy, Industry Facebook groups, ArtCenter Connect, or personal references. Initially, you may not generate enough income to pay for all of your expenses, in which case you’ll need to look for additional part-time or full-time work. • Plan B In order to support yourself while you’re building your freelance career, you apply to administrative roles at below-the- line agencies that represent cinematographers. While working at a below-the-line agency, you’ll likely make valuable contacts who can offer career advice. However, these positions are also hard to land, so it’s important to research additional opportunities. • Plan C You apply to administrative and customer service roles at equipment and expendable houses. While working at an equipment or expendable house, you’ll become familiar with various types of equipment and may be able to use equipment or materials for free or at a reduced cost. These are just a few ideas based on one example, however there are numerous possibilities unique to your specific career goals. The key is to create a well thought out plan that will lead you step-by-step to your end goal. One more tip: Consider searching for their positions on entertainment industry job boards (included at the end of the company list), or search for their recruiters and employees on LinkedIn. Once you’ve located contacts on LinkedIn, reach out to them with a professional message to inquire about opportunities. You may also use the LinkedIn alumni tool to locate alumni who work at your targeted organizations. While you’re looking for a full-time role, consider registering with a staffing agency that specializes in the entertainment industry. Working for a staffing agency will allow you to work while job searching, build additional skills, expand your network, and explore different work environments. In addition, your temporary position could lead to full-time employment. company list Studio System Another great resource you have access to as a film student is Studio System.
