The Soap Factory is looking for a Ten Second Film Festival Intern!
Ten Second Film Festival is The Soap Factory’s most highly anticipated summer event. The Ten Second Film Festival showcases the top 100 ten second films submitted for review and screens them outdoors during Northern Spark on June 9th. The success of this event is largely dependent on an energetic, creative, and organized intern who assists the curator in all aspects of the film festival. The intern’s primary responsibility will be to maintain correspondence between filmmakers and The Soap Factory, work with our partners at MPLS.TV, marketing, and coordinating the event itself. This internship position is ideal for someone looking to gain both administrative and events planning experience in an arts non-profit.
