Job Description

Creative Purpose is building a new way to develop feature films: writers’ rooms for movies.

We bring talented screenwriters together in small teams to develop original film projects collaboratively, then work with producers, directors, actors, financiers, and other industry partners to help move those projects toward production.

We’re looking for a Creative Development & Social Media Intern who is passionate about both storytelling and the business of film.

This is a unique opportunity for someone with a serious interest in screenplay development who also understands how to create engaging marketing and social content across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and others.

You’ll work directly with the founder of Creative Purpose to help execute a digital content and audience growth strategy while gaining firsthand exposure to how film projects are developed, packaged, positioned, and introduced to industry partners.

What You’ll Do

You’ll help bring Creative Purpose’s digital strategy to life by:

• Developing and managing a consistent social content calendar

• Creating short form video, graphics, carousels, written posts, and other social content

• Turning screenplay development conversations, creative insights, and behind the scenes moments into compelling content

• Helping tell the story of Creative Purpose, our writers, our projects, and our development process

• Researching trends and best practices across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other relevant platforms

• Helping identify and engage audiences within the film and entertainment industry

• Tracking content performance and helping us understand what is resonating

• Brainstorming new ways to grow awareness around Creative Purpose and the projects we are developing

You’ll also have the opportunity to gain exposure to the creative and business side of the film industry, including:

• Sitting in on writers’ rooms and screenplay development discussions

• Seeing how original movie concepts evolve from early ideas into developed screenplays

• Learning how projects are presented to producers, directors, talent, financiers, and studios

• Understanding how relationships and partnerships are built within the entertainment industry

• Seeing firsthand what it takes to build an early-stage company in the movie business

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a serious interest in screenwriting, screenplay development, film, or producing

• Is equally excited about marketing, social media, and digital storytelling

• Understands how content differs across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other platforms

• Has strong writing instincts and can communicate ideas clearly and creatively

• Has experience creating or editing short-form video, graphics, or social content

• Is comfortable experimenting with new ideas and learning what works

• Follows the film industry and is curious about how movies actually get developed and made

• Is organized, proactive, dependable, and excited to contribute to an early-stage company

Experience with tools such as Canva, CapCut, Adobe Creative Suite, Premiere, Final Cut, or similar platforms is a plus, but strong creative instincts and a willingness to learn matter more.

Why This Internship Is Different

This isn’t a traditional social media internship where you’ll simply be scheduling posts.

You’ll be working inside an emerging film development company and seeing both sides of the process: how stories are developed creatively and how those stories, projects, and relationships are built into a business.

You’ll get exposure to working screenwriters, producers, directors, managers, and other entertainment professionals while helping us build the audience and identity of Creative Purpose from the ground up.

For someone interested in becoming a writer, producer, creative executive, development executive, entertainment entrepreneur, or film marketer, this is an opportunity to learn how all of those worlds intersect.

About Creative Purpose

We assemble curated teams of accomplished screenwriters around original concepts, existing IP, and filmmaker driven ideas, creating a collaborative development process designed to turn a shared creative vision into a cohesive screenplay.

Our network includes 30+ writers and creatives across film and television, with previous credits spanning Netflix, HBO, Disney, Pixar, Apple TV+, and Nickelodeon. Writers and creatives within the network have received recognition from organizations including The Black List, the Nicholl Fellowships, the Emmys, Sundance Institute, Austin Film Festival, and the Academy Awards. Previous credits across the network include Luca, Elio, Family Guy, Monk, and other film and television projects.

Creative Purpose is also actively developing an expanding slate of original films alongside producers whose filmographies include The Big Short, Dreamgirls, Up in the Air, Blade Runner 2049, Flight, The Ring, Resident Evil, and Death Race, representing more than $4 billion in worldwide box office.

We’re building Creative Purpose with an ambitious goal: to reimagine how great stories are developed and how movies get made. We believe there’s a better model, one that brings exceptional writers, filmmakers, producers, and industry partners together earlier, encourages deeper collaboration, and gives original ideas a stronger path from concept to screen.

Our goal is to help create more original, meaningful films and a better way to bring them to life.

Compensation

This is an unpaid internship designed to provide hands on experience in film development, digital marketing, and building an entertainment startup. Exceptional performance may lead to future paid opportunities with Creative Purpose as the company grows.
