"Interning with DFG enabled me to deepen my understanding of the UK Documentary Industry, build up my practical filmmaking skills through top-quality  training courses, access a useful network of contacts and work with really lovely people. I definitely recommend it!"
- Paola Mottura

About The 'Hard Graft':
You might be helping us to prepare for our next event or course, or assisting with the content of the DFGDocs website. (Good writing skills are always welcome - although not essential - and there's the opportunity to write reviews and articles.) Alternatively, you might be gathering data for marketing strategy. When DFG or its sister production company have productions underway, there are sometimes opportunities to assist with these too.

Interns 'Training Credits' Scheme
In return for your work with us, you will build up training credits that you can use to attend DFG's wide selection of courses free-of-charge. With every hour's work your training credits increase. For more information on the selection of DFG courses currently on offer check out www.dfgdocs.com/training

We are always happy to provide references and recommend good interns for work within the industry. Previous interns have gone on to work for a variety of production companies, as well as make their own films.
