ArtBound Initiative

I had the opportunity to intern with a Magazine in NYC through the ABI programme. It has always been a dream of mine to live and work in New York, however I didn't think I would make it a reality until I discovered ABI. They really helped guide me through the process and produce a portfolio and CV that would be desirable for getting hired and specific for the creative industry. It was really nice to have the support and help, especially as someone relocating and having to do the necessary documentation for this. Finding somewhere to live was also very easy and stress free which I appreciated.

I was placed in New York, in the city of my choice, within my field of film production. Although my first choice was Script Development, I was placed in a Film Production position. At first, I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't what I wanted at first, but after going through the internship, I realized that it gave me ample experience in production for clients in video making, editing, and client scheduling. The videos we filmed were for promotion for the clients, advertising their products or business, and making a story come to life. Not only was this experience valuable for my career, but the people I met during this experience were absolutely amazing, and I know we will become lifelong friends and partners. Truly a great place to be to start your career in your designated field.

I had a super positive experience with Artbound Initiative as they were able to find me an internship in a swift manner! Their communication was great and I was really happy with all the help they offered me. My internship was amazing and I loved the team so I would recommend this program if you are looking to make a start in the creative industry!
