The Marriott School Leadership class is interested in finding two BYU film students to work with us on our video initiatives this upcoming year. Each student will receive two university credits for his/her work and will be responsible for both the camera and editing work on each initiative. Working on either initiative will be a great opportunity for students to build their portfolios, get school credit for their time and work, and strengthen their resumes by participating in the Marriott School’s leadership council as our go-to film expert.

The first opportunity is to serve as the Creative Director for a Marriott School re-branding initiative modeled after the “Mormon Messages” campaign. Throughout the course of the year, the “Marriott Messages” team will interview both alumni and current students of the Marriott School regarding their accomplishments and the importance of a Marriott School education in their life. Working together with his/her team, the Creative Director will have the opportunity to meet and network with many of BYU’s most prominent alumni and will gain wide exposure to the world of business. As part of a major roll out in early to mid-October, all of the “Marriott Messages” will be posted on YouTube in the hope of going viral and further strengthening the Marriott brand.

The second opportunity is to serve as the Creative Director for a documentary on “How learning takes place in the Marriott School”. At the end of last semester, Dean Michael Thompson reached out to the Leadership Council and asked us to develop a ground-level documentary capturing the previously untold story of when and where the most important learning takes place in the Marriott School. To tell this story, the documentary team will interview students about their most significant learning experiences, film various learning “events”, and seek out learning opportunities of all forms. This documentary will be used in both the accreditation of the Marriott School and the Dean’s curriculum/program development efforts.

All students interested in this opportunity should submit their resumes to kyletpoe@gmail.com by Friday, September 9th.

We are looking for a camera intern to come work with us on the “New Testament” film that the church is working on. This is an unpaid internship; however, it would be an awesome learning experience for anyone interested in film production with a specific interest in camera. Internship credit is available if desired. How much credit available is up to the corresponding school. The time commitment we are looking for is Monday through Friday, roughly 12 – 13 hours a day with fluctuating in and out times. The position starts August 29th and ends October 7th. Due to the fact that several interns interested are also still students, we may choose a couple interns that are able to share the time commitment. The location of the shoot is in Goshen Utah, roughly 35 min. south of Provo. Anyone interested should contact Paul Taylor at (801) 592-4830 or email me at paultaylor22@gmail.com. I will do short interviews over the phone and answer any question you may have. I will be available to return calls and emails starting Saturday August 27th (in the afternoon) through Sunday August 28th.

The LDS Motion Picture Studio is interested in volunteers who would like valuable work experience in the film industry. We are currently filming on the MPS South Campus in Elberta, Ut located about 35 miles south of BYU. We would be happy to provide transportation in our shuttle from the Motion Picture Studio if they do not have transportation.

We are interested in people who are hard working and self motivated. We have a direct need in the production department but may be able to provide opportunities in other departments as well.

We are working 12 hour days so it would be necessary to commit to that duration. Please email me if you have an interest and I can provide more details.
