The Buffalo 8 Internship Program was created in 2013 by founders Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor as Buffalo 8 continued to grow and carve out its own niche within the industry. Since then, it has developed into a world class program structured by former interns to better suit the needs of the company, while putting more emphasis on each intern’s existing skill set and goals in the entertainment industry.

Candidates should have superior oral and written communication skills, be eager to learn about the entertainment industry, and have a strong work ethic. Applicants must be US-based for the duration of the internship.
