EMEA Theatrical Distribution Intern Review

Communicate with markets around Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) on a daily basis to ensure our systems are updated with the correct info. Using this info to run reports and anyalse the data to better theatrical releases in the future. Team meetings to discuss current and future business. Work with marketing to look at consumer opinions on upcoming films. Lots of ad hoc tasks.

Excel, communication, team-work and effective time management. Work prioritisation is key in the role and sometimes ad hoc tasks disrupt the routine, management of this is very important. Also attention to detail is an important skill that I have honed in during the placement.

Absolutely. The team throw you in the deep end but are always there if needed for support. Right off day one you will be communicating with markets about different topics and it is your responsibility to feed up the appropriate info to the team. Additionally, when doing ad hoc tasks and making reports, the information and conclusions are used up the chain and it is totally your responsibility to ensure accurate information.

The team is incredibly supportive. Happy to talk at literally any hour about job specific questions / queries or even much more general industry questions. I have learnt so much just from talking to colleagues. You will also have a really useful handover week period when you start the role which gives you all the tools needed to crack on with the job!

Warner Bros / WarnerMedia is very hot on not being left in the past. They are constantly promoting new schemes and working really hard on promoting diversity and equality. Due to having worked through the pandemic I can't give the best judgement on the office atmosphere but previous interns have only raved about it. It is company filled with interesting and fun people.

The global pandemic certainly had a massive impact on the placement as it was work from home, none the less it has been brilliant. I have learnt so much and even been able to learn new skills from online working. I would recommend the placement to anyone!

Yes

If you are passionate about the role / industry then you will be a-ok. Don't take yourself to seriously and put across to the employers that you just want to learn!
