Project-based internships / Bellingham + Seattle

Don't just watch the shoot. Help make it.

Join a real Suubi Media production in a defined role, get direct feedback from the people making the work, and, with your school's approval, make it count for college credit. Openings depend on the projects on the calendar.

  • Real assignments

    You work on projects that ship to a client, not exercises.

  • Can count for credit

    With your school's approval, we handle the site supervisor side of the paperwork.

  • Direct feedback

    Notes come from the people who cut and deliver the work.

  • Terms in writing

    Duties, dates, hours, and usage are confirmed up front.

Academic credit

Make it count for college credit.

Most colleges let an internship count toward credit when it is approved before it starts. Your school decides if it counts and how much. We handle the supervisor side so the paperwork never holds you up.

  1. 01

    Check your school's rules

    Talk to your academic advisor, department, or internship coordinator. Ask how many hours equal a credit, which forms they need, and the deadline to register.

  2. 02

    Tell us you want credit

    Email us with the subject line Suubi Media internship for credit. Include your school, your program, and anything your coordinator sent you.

  3. 03

    Get approved before day one

    We fill out the site supervisor side: role description, learning objectives, schedule, and any learning agreement your school uses. Your school signs off before you start.

  4. 04

    Do the work. We document it.

    A named supervisor, a running hours log, regular check-ins, and the midpoint or final evaluations your school asks for.

Questions to ask your advisor

  • Can an internship with an outside media studio count toward my major or minor?
  • How many hours of work equal one credit?
  • Which forms or learning agreement do you need from the site supervisor?
  • What is the deadline to register, and does approval have to come before I start?
  • Is it graded or pass/fail, and do you need a midpoint or final evaluation?

What we provide your school

  • A written role description and duties
  • Learning objectives tied to real projects
  • Schedule, expected hours, and work locations
  • A named site supervisor and contact
  • A signed hours log
  • Midpoint and final evaluations on request
  • Review of any agreement your school requires
Email us about credit

International students: work authorization, including CPT when it applies, has to be approved before any work begins.

Suubi Media is not a school and cannot award credit on its own. Your school decides eligibility, credit amount, grading, and registration, and approval has to happen before the internship begins. Taking part does not guarantee credit, and no university endorsement is implied.

Where you can contribute.

Every opening is shaped by the project it belongs to. Not every role includes every area, and all work is supervised.

  • Production support

    Gear, call times, and shot logistics on set, working to a supervisor's plan so the day stays on schedule.

  • Camera and field capture

    Second shooting and supervised field capture, learning how coverage is planned, framed, and protected.

  • Editing and post

    Selects, assembly, sound passes, color support, and getting a cut to a reviewable state.

  • Social and editorial

    Vertical cutdowns, captions, and the writing that carries a piece of work into a feed.

How opportunities work.

  1. 01

    Share your work

    Send a portfolio, reel, or a few links with what you want to build on. We read everything that comes in.

  2. 02

    Talk through fit

    A short conversation about the kind of work you want, your availability, and the projects on the calendar.

  3. 03

    Confirm the role

    Before a start, the project, duties, dates, expected hours, location, supervisor, compensation status, safety expectations, confidentiality, and media or portfolio usage are confirmed in writing.

  4. 04

    Learn on assignment

    Orientation first, then supervised work with regular feedback, and a final review when the placement calls for one.

Proof / April 2023

A WWU student on a real matchday assignment.

Western Washington University published an April 2023 feature about marketing student Alec Hoffman's internship with this company when it operated as Berg Media, including content work at Lumen Field during a Seattle Sounders match.

Western Washington University featured Alec Hoffman, a WWU marketing student, in an April 2023 reel about his internship with this company while it operated as Berg Media, before the Suubi Media name. The internship took him to Lumen Field to create content at a Seattle Sounders match: a live game with the same access, pace, and pressure as any other assignment. Western's feature also mentions his work with WWU Athletics and Blue Room Bellingham.

There is no formal program or partnership behind this. Students come onto a shoot when a real project has room for one, and terms are agreed in writing beforehand.

Please note

Submitting interest is not a job offer, a placement, or a promise of future employment. Academic credit is granted only by your school, not by Suubi Media, and needs your school's approval before you start. Openings are project-dependent. Final terms are documented in writing before any start date. Suubi Media is an independent studio and is not endorsed by or affiliated with Western Washington University.
