Internships
FILMOUT SAN DIEGO INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
FilmOut San Diego is a local nonprofit organization that seeks to recognize, promote, celebrate, and support the diverse artistic contributions of LGBTQ content creators through our annual LGBTQ film festival held every September. The FilmOut film festival not only brings LGBTQ films to the screen, but hosts LGBTQ filmmakers, actors, and film fans through various forums to enlighten, educate, and entertain the San Diego community and beyond.
Our internship program brings together motivated, enthusiastic college students with interests in marketing, branding, promotion, development, and community outreach. Interns will work as a team, engaged directly in the actions required to put on a film festival of our magnitude. Students who intern with FilmOut will work with one another and with the FilmOut board of directors who come together to make this special event happen every year.
The FilmOut internship program offers college students an opportunity to gain valuable first-hand experience while making an immediate impact within the organization and on the film festival itself. Our 2025 internships run May 26 to August 25, 2025. More information below.
