FWIN Productions, a dynamic BIPOC, Woman, & LGBTQIA+ led social impact production company whose mission is to champion equitable opportunities for BIPOC, Women, and LGBTQIA+ creators in the entertainment industry, is in post-production for two projects.
Our interns have gone on to careers at Disney, Fox, Lionsgate, and Sony. We truly believe in bringing someone on who isn’t just getting coffee but becoming part of our family and creative community.
We just wrapped Post Production of the FILM AUTUMN & SUMMER for a project we have been in development for four years. As we have begun pitching full-length projects and moving concepts to production, we are looking for a Production and Development Intern who is self-motivated, takes initiative and is eager to hop into any project that comes our way. These next few weeks are going to be very hands on because we are in pre-production. In lieu of support of SAG, WGA, and Women’s Rights, we will be hosting a few events in collaboration with various women brands.
The Project we are focused on is a scripted short dark comedy film called Autumn & Summer.
Synopsis:
Two sisters (Puerto Rican, black, and Jewish) of different races follow their Latin grandmother to LA for a fresh start but struggle between societal expectations and their ravenous desire to be plain messy and beautifully imperfect in the face of unstable fathers and lovers.
Since they were pre-teens, Autumn and Summer started every day with naked yoga. The contrast in color of their bodies is usually emblematic of the sister’s bond as a blended multi-racial family. Still, today it foreshadows the friction between them as Autumn is about to make a major life decision without consulting her sister for the first time. Autumn and Summer are a few months into their new lives together in LA, where they have had to depend on each other as usual. Autumn has begun her residency as a psychiatrist at UCLA. Summer is adjusting to her new misogynist male boss and cutthroat coworkers, while simultaneously planning her wedding to her long-distance fiancé Wyatt.
When Summer discovers that Autumn took the morning off work to get an abortion, a seemingly irreparable rift opens between the sisters and their codependency is tested. Their relationship may survive, but not without a shake-up from heartthrob and jack of all trades Kyle, a hearty serving of Grandma Rosa’s famous mofongo, and the unexpected aid of her kooky millennial roommate Shae, a self-taught abortion doula.
This intern position includes day-to-day duties such as: research, gathering creative materials for pitches, decks etc. You will also be reading articles, books, and screenplays; writing coverage; creative research; compiling artwork and pitch materials, including decks; assisting through pre-production and production days.
