Two entry-level positions are available between June 1st and October 31st, 2011.  Responsibilities will include answering phones, filling orders, coordinating and shipping materials for the movie tour, and general office assistance.  Here are some quick testimonials from our 2010 interns:

“I interned with MSP the summer after I graduated from college with a film major. The skills they taught me about both video and the industry were invaluable. MSP is a great to work with and they don’t stop supporting you after you’re done. I now work in the marketing department for a ski resort; a job I attained largely with their help. Be their intern. Do it.”  - Chris Segal

“Interning with MSP was an awesome experience. I worked hard but it was incredible being mentored by the very people who make up the backbone of the industry. I got to know what goes into making a successful ski film - from editing to the tour. My summer with MSP was so much more than I expected. No program I participated in while in college gave me as much experience or insight into ski inustry PR. Be prepared to work hard and see the rewards of your work. You will have a blast working with MSP. Good luck!”  - Veronica Asmus
