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 […]

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 […]

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!

Once the summer is over, I’ll be working with Bigler Productions and Modern Mix Marketing around 30 hours a week, editing and taping weddings and corporate events. An upcoming event we have is the Saratoga Lip […]

Jon reserved a space at the end of our session yesterday for me to ask him any questions—not questions necessarily related to the pilot I’m writing but questions about anything. I had been keeping a list in my notebook for just such an occasion. All of a sudden the questions I’d recorded seemed very menial […]

I learned another lesson today after talking with Jon. We were going over an outline I wrote for the pilot episode I’m working on. In the outline, I’d set up a couple storylines in the first two acts. We got through them and everything was fine, but then we came to the third act. “You […]

On Set with Asylum Entertainment- Though the agreed upon internship time had ended, it seemed that both Rob and I were interested in working together longer. I had always offered to do anything I could to help, which I’d inherently learn from, in trying to be the best intern I could be. After Rob and […]
