Production Apprentice Program

Each of our film sets invests in creating pathways for Black Trans, Gender-Non-Conforming, and Intersex folks to get their start in the film industry.

We reserve two paid ($30/hour) PA roles per film set for Black TGNCI* aspiring filmmakers to learn and build experience through apprenticing on a Comfrey Films work-in-progress film. No prior film experience is necessary. The Production Apprentice application is currently closed. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified as soon as it re-opens.
