Overview

What is the Storyline Apprenticeship Program?

Storyline is launching a ten-month, full-time apprenticeship program to help nurture the next generation of creative and collaborative storytellers who are traditionally underrepresented in the fields of nonfiction storytelling: documentary film, journalism, photography, performance, audio, new media, and emerging technologies.

This is a full-time paid job opportunity combining customized mentorship, hands-on instruction, workshops, and on-the-job training with the Storyline team.

Why We Created This Program

For people interested in working in nonfiction, there is a critical gap in career development support. There are great labs and fellowships, but most of them require a fully developed project to apply. What do you do if you don’t quite know what your first project might be, or in what medium? Or maybe you do, but you’re not sure where to start. Or maybe you don’t know how you might want to be involved in nonfiction work yet. And you can’t afford to do a bunch of unpaid internships to figure that out.

This apprenticeship is designed to fill that gap.
