Responsibilities

  • The casting intern will work on a wide scope of projects, from large long-term projects to short-term day to day projects. On a daily basis, the intern will be responsible for reading scripts and generating character breakdowns for incoming projects, updating picture grids, listen in on kick off calls, helping with talent lists, and joining team calls to learn how our team collaborates. In the long term, the intern will work on tracking up-and-coming talent, update databases and lists for domestic and international talent, track social media patterns relating to casting, as well as a larger intern project that will span the semester, serving as a capstone project. Our main goal is for our intern to gain exposure to, if not the whole process, a large chunk of the timeline of both television shows and films at Amazon, starting from development stages out to casting our lead roles.
  • The casting intern will report directly to the casting coordinator on our team who works across almost all series. The intern will help with writing character breakdowns, reading scripts, helping with idea lists, updating picture grids, and maintaining our internal databases. Each day is different, and while some days may be more admin heavy, others will be focused on listening on calls, learning more about the casting process, and meeting with internal stakeholders.

Mission & Purpose

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1."​ What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.
