HighLife Studios
Let's start with the basics.
Tell us how to reach you. All information is kept confidential.
Where are you located?
City and state is fine — we just want to understand your proximity to DC/DMV.
Can you commute to DC/DMV?
Most internship tracks require in-person presence at the studio on a regular basis.
Which track are you applying for?
Choose the role that best matches your skills and goals. You can say "Not sure yet" if you're open to multiple areas.
Why HighLife Studios?
Tell us what draws you to HighLife specifically — not just internships in general. Be real with us.
What's your experience level?
Be honest — we work with all levels and match mentorship accordingly.
Which tools have you used?
Select everything that applies. You don't need to be an expert — just familiar counts.
Tell us about your relevant experience.
School projects, freelance gigs, personal work, anything that shows what you've done and what you're capable of.
Link to your work examples.
Portfolio, SoundCloud, Instagram, website, Google Drive folder — anything that shows your work. If you don't have one, write "N/A".
Can you commit 10–20 hrs/week, June 1 – Sept 1?
We're looking for interns who can show up consistently over the full summer. This is a real commitment, not just exposure.
Any scheduling conflicts we should know about?
Vacations, school, other commitments — let us know upfront so we can plan. This is optional; skip if you have none.
