Potemkino is a Belgian production company with an international reputation for its expertise in combining high-quality fiction, innovative formats and international financing.
From its collaboration with legendary filmmakers such as Peter Greenaway (Eisenstein in Guanajuato), Terence Davies (A Quiet Passion starring Cynthia Nixon) and Bille August (55 Steps starring Helena Bonham Carter and Hilary Swank), to producing the Scandic-Crime series Cold Courage (for Nent & Lionsgate), the prestigious sci-fi movie Iron Sky 2, the renowned horror feature Cub and the Emmy-nominated participative TV Series The Spiral (a European 6 country co-production, simultaneously broadcast), Potemkino has become one of Europe’s cutting edge production companies. Its output includes highly diverse projects – where high quality and ambition is the common denominator – frequently collaborating with new, local talent and launching them internationally. This international profile is combined with a strong focus on innovation and keeping up with new trends.
Experience
I started my internship with Potemkino & Charlie Dewulf at the end of January 2022 as a content producer for various social media channels and intern to the producers. My tasks at the company included but were not limited to keeping track of my own tasks and those of the other interns, scheduling and leading meetings, brainstorming about new content for the social media channels of potemkino, Charlie, and the various ongoing projects such as H4z4rd and Cool Abdoul with the communications manager - and then making sure this content was actually made and posted.
Throughout my internship at Potemkino, my tasks kept evaluating to take on more and more responsibility, until they offered me a job as a production assistant on the set of the new web series “Liefdestips Aan Mezelf” (SBS/Goplay). I started this job during the last few weeks of my internship for the pre-production, but have been working full-time for ‘Liefdestips’ since the end of May 2022.
