As part of an inter-related group of non-arm's length projects, the internal College for Production Film Professionals is designed to build a top tier production company capable of big budget theatrical film production.

Students are expected to behave as employees from Day One. They will participate in a highly cooperative, non-standard training program intended to develop good work habits organically through experience; develop corporate resources and assets for film production; as well as act as film crew for several commercial projects where their labor is an intrinsic part of the production budget. They will be living in various conditions mimicking real-world situations as regards film production - both low and high budget.

This will include tents, off-road remote locations, urban environments with limited accessibility, travel under various conditions that could range from RV to camelback. They will be expected to fill all production positions under professional supervision. As such, they will be required to move equipment under all weather conditions, put up and take down stages, sets, and living accommodations. They will be required to participate in all cooking, cleaning, and kitchen duties.

The goal is not just to train someone who could fill one specific job role within an established production company, but for students to participate in the actual production of several independent film and tv projects where their participation is a way to finance the projects, and to train future employees who will be expected to operate within a highly mobile and flexible film crew in terms of cross training and the ability to adapt to unpredictable situations domestically and overseas.

The focus and goal for this project is for the internship students to create a job description templates that can be used by instructors to submit requests for staff to HR, or for HR to post internal and external positions. Additionally, a template to assist instructors or HR to create candidate skills assessment questions for online screening. This should include relevant tips, tutorials, and Canadian employment legislation warnings for typical snafus.

We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern team using these communication tools: Riipen messaging, Zoom, email
