Intern remotely with creative companies

My experience has been pretty good with Art bound initiative. The first two months are dedicated to improving our resume and portfolio. They are nice enough to look at your portfolio as many times as you feel is needed. And trust me you should take any opportunity to make sure your portfolio is the best it can be. After I was selected from the candidate pool I got to work on an animated pilot called blue shades. I got to design icons, characters, and research for pre-production. Vilpa Film was a great experience. Would recommend this program.

Under the Artbound Initiative Programme, I was assigned as a remote Communications/Writing intern for Vilpa Films, a production company. Before my internship, I was provided with some courses on how to prepare my resume, interview tips, as well as actual meetings with industry experts in fields I was interested in (eg the film industry). During my actual internship, I was given a variety of article types to write about concerning various projects that Vilpa Films was embarking on, such as their original animated series. I managed to learn many skills such as communication with my supervisor who was overseas, while being supported by the ABI team through regular check-ins and informational posts.

As a current member of the ABI alumni community, I had such a blast as an ABI participant in 2025. In the span of 1 year, I respectively did two internships: a Magazine Editorial Internship and a Creative Writer Internship. Both taught me so much and allowed me to gain more confidence as an aspiring writer. Additionally, I gained a variety of important lessons and skills through the ABI Academy. These experiences combined have allowed me to grow, evolve, and become a better intern! Thank you, ABI!

My time with ABI and the internship they helped me secure had been wonderful. Very supportive, understanding of accessibility needs, and I learnt a lot too. My internship has been entirely virtual/remote but I still felt really connected and involved despite distance and time differences. Take advantage of all the opportunities because they are all useful and will help you in some way, even if you’re not expecting it. Definitely recommend ABI because if you put the work in and it’s absolutely worth it.

This program has truly transformed my life. I was searching for a meaningful opportunity to grow, to explore my potential as a filmmaker, and to take a bold step forward in my career. This was the perfect fit. It provided not only technical knowledge and creative skills, but also a strong support system and a sense of direction. I’m incredibly grateful for the experiences, the mentors, and the connections I’ve made. Applying was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and it has opened doors I never imagined possible.

The ABI internship course was a great way to develop my connections and real-world experience. The design industry is a notoriously difficult environment to get your foot into, but with ABI I have been able to develop my resume, portfolio, and experience in a way to really benefit my odds. Everyone that I interacted with at ABI were great people, all putting effort into supporting me, teaching, and making me feel comfortable with my internship and future endeavours. My program manager, Jason, was extremely helpful, responsive, and supportive.

The opportunity with Artbound is one that I truly think no one can really miss out on! As some one who had a struggle to figure out their own life post graduation especially in the creative industries, Artbound allowed me to see the opportunities that arose from those whilst refining my skills for future employers.

There was also value when it came to the internship process itself, allowing myself to collaborate whilst also gain new skills and opportunity within the art gallery scene.

If you also feel stuck in your own situation, why not give this a shot?

I joined artbound initiative because I was interested in trying an internship in design, even though my degree was in illustration/visual art. They helped me rebuild my resume and portfolio website to be able to land an internship in my field of interest - which I wouldn't have been able to do on my own.
Artbound Initiative placed me with a wonderful internship company that matched my interests and goals, and I had plenty of support along the way from my coordinator Jason. Definitely reccommend :)
