Marty Katz Productions seeks individuals for a unique internship experience. We are a feature
film productions company that has done many films including Titanic, Reindeer Games, Impostor, The Four Feathers, and the upcoming Great Raid staring Benjamin Bratt, James Franco, Connie Nielsen, and Joe Fiennes.

Our past interns now work for Jerry Bruckheimer, John Turtletaub, David Kirkpatrick, CAA, CBS, MGM, Disney, among others. Two of our former interns have sold scripts for close to $1 million dollars!
In this development internship, you will read and cover scripts, research development projects, help prepare lists of actors/writers/directors, give us your feedback on current projects and most of all LEARN how Hollywood runs. There‚s also general office work involved, but that is not the bulk of what you will do.
Requirements: This is a non-paid internship but can be used for college credit. Looking for interns who can commit to working FULL TIME: for 4 months. When you're through we will help you in finding a paying job.
How To Apply
If you are interested please fax your cover letter and resume to Campbell at 310-589-1565. You may also e-mail your cover letter and resume to MartyKatzProductions@earthlink.net If you decide to e-mail us please do not send any attachments, since we never open attachments from people we don't know.
Intern Testimonial
I started my internship just as the Love Ranch production office was
setting up in New Mexico. My first week was basically a crash course in
how the real film industry works, not what they teach you in school.
Within the first two weeks I learned a great deal about who’s who in
Hollywood, and got a surprisingly up close and personal look at what
exactly producers and directors do. It was a bit daunting at first, and
they expect the utmost competence and efficiency from their interns, but
working alongside such an experienced film producer is an almost unheard
of opportunity.
Only a few months out of college and I was already working on a major
motion picture with a great cast and crew. I had the opportunity to meet
the director Taylor Hackford, the director of photography Kieran
McGuigan and the stars of the film. I also had a chance to visit the set
and see the filming firsthand. I learned a great deal about what Marty
does on set as a producer, as well as how the crew interacts and
collaborates. This was an experience I never thought I would have this
soon out of college, but there I was. And Marty does ask a lot from his
interns, but as long as you keep up with the pace it’s fine. I also got
to meet everyone in the production office in New Mexico.
As an intern I dealt with everything from financial and budget issues,
to casting and filmographies. One of the other interns even got so spend
a month in the editing room in Los Angeles working on an Avid system and
looking through all the footage that came in.
Besides all the invaluable firsthand experience I gained, there is one
more exciting aspect to this internship: screen credit. Less than a year
out of college, and all the interns will receive screen credit on Love
Ranch. This is a very rare opportunity that immerses you in the
behind-the-scenes world of film producing. If you can keep up with the
fast pace of the film industry, then this internship is for you.

Intern Testimonial
When I came to Los Angeles straight out of film school I was full of
enthusiasm but was also quite afraid of the daunting task of breaking
into the film business. With only my BA, my search for employment within
the entertainment industry was coming up dry. I was fortunate enough to
be accepted as an intern with Marty Katz Productions. Here I have gained
invaluable experience which will undoubtedly launch my career in
entertainment. With Marty Katz Productions I had the opportunity to
observe and learn the production aspect of professional filmmaking. Not
only have I received training in the basic skills necessary to work
within this industry, but I was fortunate enough to assist the producer
on set of the film Love Ranch. There I observed a number of Academy
Award winners and nominees including Taylor Hackford, Helen Mirren, and
Joe Pesci. In less than six months I went from just another film school
graduate to working on the set of a high profile major motion picture
because of Marty Katz Productions.
