Internship
Optimism Entertainment's Internship Program offers a select group of undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to work and learn talent/literary management & production first hand from elite entertainment executives.

Students who are actively enrolled in a four-year undergraduate bachelor degree program or graduate degree program (M.A., J.D., M.B.A., etc.) at an accredited college or university, or are a recent college graduate within the past 2 years are eligible to apply to the program.
