Internship Government Video Editor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Step into the world of premium television and digital storytelling. We are offering a 2-3 month, in-person Video Editor Internship where you’ll help breathe new life into some of the most iconic TV shows. We are seeking a motivated and creatively driven Video Editing Intern to join our production team for the summer. This is a structured, hands-on programme designed to give you meaningful exposure to professional post-production workflows — not a coffee-fetching internship.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds; what matters most is curiosity, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for the craft of storytelling and editing.

We are redefining how legacy television content finds new life in the digital age. By combining creative ingenuity with data-driven strategies, we transform classic TV moments into fresh, engaging, and viral content tailored to today’s online audiences.
