About The Program

 

Our internship program runs for 3 months every summer. Interns are required to attend at least 3 days per week.

​

The selection process is highly competitive, and we only accept 8-12 interns each year.

​

The internship experience includes training sessions with professionals, practice time with gear, intern-driven creative projects, and tons of opportunities to build skills and ask questions. 

​

You'll spend time working in pre-, post-, and on-set production, using industry-level gear right from our rental department.

What We're Looking For

Our ideal intern is passionate about media production, hungry to learn, and excited about developing a wide array of skills. 

​

Whether you're here to grow your skills as a camera op, take your first steps into lighting, learn about virtual production, or practice with audio, we can guarantee you'll walk away with experience, knowledge, and skills that will kickstart your career.

What do past interns have to say?

"I believe the best way to learn anything is to get hands-on experience. You definitely will have the chance to do that when you intern at OHD. Whether that is “playing” with equipment, editing a video or being on set. Don’t worry about your experience level, because everyone is so willing to answer your questions and help you when you are struggling."

"They say you need to go to college… This is false, you just need to intern at OHD.  If you really want to understand the nitty gritty of the media industry you come here... You will grow so much and leave this internship with a gigantic batch of new found skills, knowledge, and experience to help you take on the industry with confidence.  If you put in the effort, this internship is 4 years of college wrapped up into 3 months."

"The gear I had access to at school was limited, so getting to see what the pros are using really helped me understand what I would eventually be dealing with. On top of that, I got to get onto professional level sets while I was an intern. I feel like getting to get my feet wet being a PA under OHD prepared me for future shoots I would be a part of. Personally, getting to see the workflow and how focused everyone is on a professional set was something that my schooling just couldn't offer."

"My fellow interns and I worked on many different assignments together. We grew very close as a group and remain in contact to this day. Some of our tasks could have been: filming original videos, researching different pieces of equipment, studio upkeep, entering film contests and even going on professional shoots... I would summarize being an Ohio HD intern as having 4 years’ worth of college experience in one summer."

"Having the opportunity to intern at OHD has been an absolute dream. My knowledge in the world of film has grown more than I could’ve ever imagined in just a couple months. Not only have my skills technically grown from the available equipment we are able to “play” with, but we also have opportunities to be on professional sets that teach way more about the film industry than any classroom can."

"My time at OHD was one of the most valuable academic and professional opportunities I've ever had. Their internship program helped solidify my passion for cinematography and granted me a strong foundation that I still draw from today... My experience as an intern at Ohio HD is one I wish every film student could have."

"Just about everything I know I attribute to OHD. Amongst all the people who work here, they were patient enough to sit down and answer, with detail, and question I had... If you are thinking about using them as a resource, you shouldn't think about it much longer, and you should just do it."

"I received first-hand experience handling high-end production cameras, including RED, ARRI and Phantom systems. I was also able to learn the industry set-terms and lingo for G&E, as well as more specific information on 3-phase power and rigging safety on set... OHD gave me a production backbone that has afforded me job opportunities both on-set and in post-production."

Unfortunately, applications for our 2026 internship program have closed. Please check back in winter to apply for our summer 2027 program!
