WAIT WAIT…Professor Schoonmaker…Wait….Im not done….yet!….Thats Right!  I am still interning. Magically, I was extended to continue to learn. Now I am not sure what this practically means, yet I am excited to extend this news to you all. What makes this so interesting is that I am able to continue to learn in hopes of […]

On September 1st I will have been out here in LA for 3 months, and I will have spent about 2 of those 3 months trying to find PA work. I spent my first month or so trying to start up a mentorship with a director of photography, every week I emailed him, he said […]

Comedy Lessons from Eminem

Posted: 18th August 2011 by jlscurry in Random Reflections

Did you know that “Stan” by Eminem and Trey Parker’s song “America, F!#* Yeah!” both have the same important lesson to teach about comedy writing (even screen writing in general)?  I would have certainly never grouped these two songs together in any circumstance.  Even less so if the category is “important lessons to be learned […]

Notes from Mandaly Internship — Script coverage

Posted: 16th August 2011 by ranjanamitra in Notes to Sequence 64

So one of the managers in the company had to be at the Beverly Hilton all day for the 2011 Television Critics Association Awards, and as we needed to give him something ASAP I offered to take it to him. There was a FOX sign right outside the entrance that I thought it was fun […]

And here I was, slowly finishing my amazing internship experience at Untitled. My last thought of wisdom will be that: Always seem to be eager to do anything and everything, even if you’re not! Always be the person they turn to for whatever they need, even if you can’t actually do it. Because you’ll try […]
