Just a quick update:

Feeling more than nauseated for my interview in 2 1/2 hours....ahhhhhhh. Someone give me calming tips...and help on how to shine.

I did this: Maybe it'll help?

HIRE ME.

EXPERIENCE: With the combination of my on set experience and extensive stay at my internship, mostly here at Varsity, I feel I am qualified for the job because of my versatility.

ON SET: Having been on numerous sets, even student produced, I have learned a great deal about set lingo, proper etiquette, and the guerrilla way of filmmaking. I have been on professional sets as well and have enjoyed seeing the differences of how they are run. Sunny actually builds on that knowledge as I was able to come on set earlier this year and observe my fellow students as on set PAs.

ASSISTANT: As an intern at Varsity for nearly 6 months I had the opportunity to delve into everything Varsity. This included script coverage of projects we were in production with and also some that were sent as samples of writers who wanted to work with us. I feel like I have a great deal of head start on the projects Varsity is spearheading including Sunny, picked up for another 13 episodes and possibly 30, BMS that has exploded since I last left here, getting picked up for a second season, Don’t Shake It, which is slated to start shooting with Fatima in Georgia early next year. Also, Shared Fare, Art of Making $, and Traded are all trying to get directors attached and going quite well I hear. I read treatments and drafts of BMS, I saw the differences in where the story was going and the changes that were being creatively made to further the series into now its second season. When Tony left I took over his desk, answering and transferring calls. Doing minor schedule management, confirming and making appointments, running to the major agents and agencies for a reel or script.

I work very well with everyone in the office and I hear that is being reciprocated. I enjoy seeing Carter and Cheythana do what they do as assistants and I learned everything they did when I was interning. I have a bit of a head start on that because if they made a mistake I was right there learning with them.


AHHHH I'm gonna need a drink when this is all done...haha
