The “Made in NY” Production Assistant Training Program helps low-income New York City residents get their foot in the door of the dynamic world of film and television. We offer this free program in partnership with the New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment. No previous production experience is required. Applicants who do not have a high school diploma, GED, or college degree are encouraged to apply. We’re looking for individuals who are available full-time, ready to learn, and eager to work.
