Our client is one of North America's leading producers of non-scripted content. They have produced and directed over 70 documentaries and filmed productions—including award-winning features, live television, stage-to-screen productions, and new scripted and unscripted developments—with work recognized across premier international film festivals including TIFF.
About the Role
We are seeking a smart, energetic, and resourceful Production Assistant / Film & TV Intern to join a fast-moving production team. This is an initial 4-month paid contract with potential to transition into a permanent full-time role.
In this position, you will work directly alongside experienced filmmakers and producers, gaining hands-on exposure to the end-to-end business of creating film and television. Your focus will span research, development, production logistics, administrative coordination, and pitch support, offering direct insight into how projects move from initial concept to screen.

Assist development and production teams across documentary, live TV, stage-to-screen, and new scripted/unscripted projects.
Conduct thorough research and assist in moving projects from initial concept through development into production.
Coordinate production logistics, workflow organization, and daily operational support.
Support senior filmmakers and producers with project organization and changing production needs.
Handle both high-level creative tasks and essential day-to-day unglamorous production work.
What We're Looking For
Industry Passion: A genuine drive for film, television, non-scripted storytelling, and entertainment.
Resourcefulness: A proactive problem-solver who takes initiative rather than waiting for step-by-step direction.
Exceptional Organization: Sharp attention to detail with the ability to manage competing priorities in a dynamic environment.
Discretion & Maturity: Professional attitude when dealing with high-profile talent, partners, and confidential development materials.
Strong Communication & Tech Skills: Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable learning new digital workflow tools.

Availability & Location: Ability to work in-person in Toronto, ON during standard hours (10:00 AM – 5:00 PM), with flexibility for occasional early mornings or late days during active production cycles.
