About Ineffable Films
Ineffable Films is a nonprofit on a mission to open the film industry to emerging and underserved storytellers. We do it through mentorship, festival access, hands-on education, and community screenings, with work that stretches from San Diego to New York to Boston to a creative partnership in Bandung, Indonesia. Stories are at the center of everything we make, and we are looking for sound artists who know that half the story lives in what you hear.
The Role
We are looking for a Sound & Audio Post Intern who works in the Fairlight page of DaVinci Resolve. You will edit, mix, and finish audio for our Global Lens Film Series, short-form content, and the films we support, cleaning dialogue, balancing levels, building sound, and delivering a polished mix. Alongside that, you'll be part of a community of filmmakers where you can sharpen your craft, get feedback, and lend your ear to the creators we support.
What you'll do
- Edit and mix dialogue, music, and effects in Fairlight
- Clean up and balance audio for a clear, professional sound
- Build sound design and atmosphere where a piece needs it
- Deliver consistent, well-leveled mixes across formats
- Collaborate with our video and creative leads on the sound of each piece
- Engage in the community, supporting other filmmakers with their audio
What you'll walk away with
- Published sound credits from a mission-driven film nonprofit
- A reel of real mixed work that has reached a growing audience
- Feedback and mentorship from our team and community
- A space to develop your own projects alongside other filmmakers
- A flexible, remote-friendly schedule that fits around your classes
Who we're looking for
- A sound artist comfortable in Fairlight (or eager to specialize in it) with a good ear for mix and clarity
- Experience with dialogue editing, mixing, or sound design
- An understanding of how sound shapes mood and story
- Reliability, self-direction, and excitement for film and storytelling
- No degree required. We care about your ear and your work, not your resume

One thing worth knowing about the community: it's yours whether or not you end up interning with us. Even if interning isn't the right fit down the line, you'll have a space to get free support from professional filmmakers on whatever projects you're working on, plus connect with other filmmakers and sound artists along the way.
In the meantime, feel free to dive into our Open Hours, our live Q&A sessions with industry professionals that you can access right inside the community. ~Menefese Founder & CEO
