A lot of the internships at studios are only for college students. The best way to get in is knowing someone at the studio, or if your school has a connection to the studio. Some high schools have programs where you can get internships that usually only college students can get if they applied directly to the studio. Does your school have a job counselor? Ask them. If there is no job counselor, ask the person who handles the student job permits. Do you have a film makers club or class like they do at my son's school? Ask the teacher who runs the class. Network, the more people you tell what you're looking for, the better chance. (Lots of internships are like producer 1 hires producer 2's relative or friend, and producer 2 hires producer 1's relative or friend.) Some internships you might find on your own, like with small independent companies, are with sort of creepy people, so be careful, let your parent check out the situation. Google: movie industry internship Wade through all the websites. But remember, make sure your parent approves of the situation.
