Cinema & Comparative Literature
Hiring Student Assistants
People often ask us if we can help them find students to assist with
a production that will be shooting in eastern Iowa, or to create a
educational or training video for an organization, or to make a video
of a special or personal event.
Many of the talented young filmmakers in our department are eager for
experiences outside their class work, and we would like to do our
best to connect you with them. However it is important to remember
that University equipment may not be used for *any* purpose not
directly related to student coursework and students may permanently
lose their equipment access if this policy is violated. This means
that while we can help you find talented people, we are not able to
supply cameras, microphones, lights, studio space, computers or
editing equipment.
If you would like for us to post a job to our graduate MFA and / or
undergraduate list serves, please send via email to
cinema-complit@uiowa.edu <mailto:cinema-complit@uiowa.edu>, a detailed description of your project, and of the
work available. Please include: when and where the work will take
place; whether or not the work is for pay, and what skills you
require. Please remember that the Department cannot directly recruit
students for you nor guarantee that you will find a suitable student
for your project. Any agreement you make will be between the student
and yourself or your organization.
Depending on the length of your project and how well it fits with
student interests and educational goals, you may want to consider
hiring a student intern. Internships can be arranged through the
Pomerantz Career Center here:
