Could you describe what your day-to-day looks like as an intern for Atlantic Pictures?


My routine varied between office and set work. In the office, I handled administrative tasks like answering phones and organizing the workspace. On set, I worked as an Art Director, focusing on set design and visual elements, and also took on Production Assistant duties, assisting with equipment and coordinating with the crew.

The environment at my internship was friendly and supportive. In the office, it was slow-paced, but I had the opportunity to spend quality time with other interns, which was a highlight. On set, the atmosphere was focused and efficient, with a strong sense of teamwork among the crew.
