THE taste mentorship internship program
Applications now open for SPRING & SUMMER 2024
Gain direct, one-on-one film editing, business development and career mentorship with the founder of TASTE. You will learn not only the art of film & video editing and the business of independent filmmaking, but also receive film & media career mentorship. You will be working on the internationally award-winning food documentary series, TASTE.
In this divided world, we believe that nothing unites us better than food and stories. TASTE is a short-form documentary series that brings people together through these two uniting, global forces.
We film the uncovered, true stories about the risk-takers who make our food worldwide.
Our TASTE documentary films include dictator-fighting restaurateurs in Myanmar, Michelin-starred chefs in Europe, snail farmers in Vienna, hunters in Borneo jungles, cricket farmers in Thailand, Jewish bakers fighting anti-Semitism in Budapest, former felons-turned-fine dining chefs, and many more.
We reveal the undiscovered stories of struggle, risk and reward behind our food.
To date, we've filmed 70 documentary short films across 40 countries worldwide in Asia, Europe and the Americas—from Bhutan to Budapest to Brooklyn.
The yet-to-be released series has earned 45 international film festival nominations and awards on its pilot episodes thus far and has been featured in international press such as Food & Wine Magazine, Edible, Huffington Post, PBS and more.
