Social Media Intern - San Diego Int'l Film Festival

We are seeking a creative and motivated Social Media Intern to join our team. This role is perfect for someone who loves film, has a knack for creating engaging content, and wants hands-on experience in digital marketing.

• Research social media trends, hashtags, and best practices to keep our content fresh and engaging.
• Monitor and collect metrics on social media performance ( reach, impressions, clicks, and follower growth)

Qualifications:

• Passion for film, storytelling and social media.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Friendly and outgoing personality, comfortable engaging with attendees, filmmakers, and staff during events
• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to work independently and as part of a team.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Basic photography, videography, and editing
• Availability to be on-site during events: Film Insider Series (May 21, June 18, July 16, August 20) festival (Oct. 16-20) and flexibility for occasional evening or weekend events during internship.
• What You’ll Gain:
  • Hands-on experience in social media marketing within the entertainment and nonprofit sectors.
  • Networking opportunities with industry professionals and film enthusiasts.
  • A chance to contribute to a high-profile cultural event and make a lasting impact.
  • College credit (if applicable) and a potential letter of recommendation upon successful completion of the internship.
