The Black List Intern, Summer 2026 (Gold Rising)

Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences • Los Angeles, CA

3d • Remote

About The Position

This internship is with The Black List in Los Angeles, CA, but is part of the Academy Gold Program, an 8-week internship enhancement program that incorporates learning opportunities including an intensive two-day orientation, weekly panels, exclusive networking events, workshops, screenings, and mentorship opportunities with Academy members. To learn more, please visit the Academy Gold page: https://www.oscars.org/gold-rising The Black List is a platform dedicated to identifying and celebrating exceptional storytelling. First established in 2005 as an annual survey of Hollywood's most-liked unproduced screenplays. The Black List has since grown into a comprehensive resource for the film, TV, publishing, and theater worlds, serving thousands of writers, agents, managers, showrunners, producers, financiers, directors, actors, and theater industry professionals. We are a small team that punches far above our weight, and we are looking for interns with a clear passion for storytelling and technology to join us in doing the same. Ideal interns are likely the sort of people who have strong opinions on some, if not all, of the following: the Oscars, movie posters, book and album covers, fine art, architecture, fashion (haute couture, street, and where the two meet), the aesthetics of television ads, film and television company logos, and whether RottenTomatoes or Metacritic is more useful. More importantly, they're the sort of people who can communicate those strong opinions effectively with people who disagree without being disagreeable. While most interns will be generalists–working on a wide variety of projects related to Black List business–prospective interns with a specific interest in, and aptitude for, graphic design and/or video work may have the opportunity to specialize if they so desire. Please note that The Black List is a remote company, and the majority of the team works from home in Los Angeles. That being said, we will host in-person lunches and events to get to know our interns in the real world.
