Eight Week Programme Task
Over eight weeks, interns work directly with a film producer and former Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions executive to build a repeatable editorial system: locating peer-reviewed and graduate-level scholarship on the economics of the film business, evaluating and verifying it, and translating its findings into practical insight for working producers, investors, and filmmakers.
The cohort meets twice weekly in two-hour working sessions — reviewing research, workshopping distillations, and receiving direct editorial feedback — with a structured asynchronous workflow between sessions.
The core skill is source literacy: reading an academic paper accurately, identifying its load-bearing finding, verifying every citation and figure against the primary source, and rendering it in clear professional prose.
Interns finish with a portfolio of published editorial work and a research-to-publication workflow that transfers to any media, communications, or development role.
The cohort's work supports a LinkedIn publishing programme of approximately 200 scheduled posts across the term, developed collaboratively and edited and approved prior to publication.
