I am seeking an intern for the distribution/outreach of Return to the Andes (or as documentary filmmakers like to call the role now, "Impact and Engagement")

• Help manage database of key contacts, press and screenings

• This is a part-time (10-15 hours week?) unpaid position, for now (I am seeking grants and investors to fund a part-time paid position, though can't promise that)
• We are happy to provide requirements for college credit, if you're still in school.
• Location: Anywhere. Work remotely (I am splitting time between NYC and Bloomington, IN)
• You will learn a lot and have fun, working with me and a great community of supporters and fans.

You are likely:
• Passionate about documentary film....digital communication/social media.... and Latin America
