American Food Roots is an award-winning online magazine covering the history and culture of American food. We are currently accepting applications for two internships:

Video Memoir: AFR’s signature feature, My American Roots, offers two-minute video memoirs about food in the lives of ordinary people. The video memoir intern will plan, execute, edit and polish these pieces, with mentoring byveteran journalists with experience at the New York Times, National Public Radio, Associated Press, Bon Appetit and other national media. The intern will build a wide range of skills necessary to succeed in digital media and will also be encouraged to express his or her own creative vision.

This internship is unpaid. Each video will carry the filmmaker’s byline. We are happy to help arrange academic credit through your university or film program. Please send a brief explanation of your credentials and your interest to Michele Kayal, deputy managing editor, at Michele@americanfoodroots.com.

Post-production Intern: AFR is seeking a post-production intern to shape, edit and polish a library of videos that will run in the magazine’s My American Roots section. This section offers two-minute video memoirs about food in the lives of ordinary people. The post-production intern will have the opportunity to create a finished film from raw footage, developing critical editorial skills while applying his or her own creative vision. This is an excellent opportunity for students looking to build a reel in post-production.
