He's legendary.

[Bre Moore]

Hi, my name is Bre and I'm a huge fan of your videos and I follow you on tumblr. I'm currently a rising junior at DePauw University majoring in communications with a minor in film studies. It's my goal to obtain a job relating to film after college. Though I'm interested in becoming a film reviewer or a professor of film studies (or maybe even both) I am trying to learn as much as I can about the film industry before I graduate from college. Which is why I'm interested in this internship.

[NationalFilmSociety]

Thanks, Bre!

I'm very interested in the Internship, but I think I'd be doing it for the wrong reasons. I want to know how to get my hair like that! Looks awesome, Patrick!

[NationalFilmSociety]

There is no secret to the hair. It's just nature doing its thing.

[Stephen Dypiangco]

Hi, my name is Stephen, and I've had four internships.

[NationalFilmSociety]

Glad you like us enough to even consider another internship after you last one. That sounded rough.

[Marina Polonskaya]

Hi! I am Maryna, a BYU film student from Ukraine. I am in love with film and love being on set. I have experience working on a few low budget projects as an Art Crew, PA, grip, and editor. I would love to do this internship because the video that you made shows that it would be fun and creative to work in your environment+I can gain great demo reels and learn a lot I'm sure. Also I am super dependable and ready to do things that a good shot requires. Best reward after hard work is a great result

[Tommy Yap]

Paid internship or unpaid internship? :p

Hi! My name is Arturo, I'm from Mexico and I'd like to do inthership with you guys, I think interships are very usefull, I've done couple of interships and I've learned a lot from both and a third won't do any harm, right?

I currently studying Engineering in Multimedia Production (totally used google tranlate on this).

I've done a few short films, one of them was for an event of Expresion en Corto International Film Festival in Guanajuato, Mexico.

I design, edit and create special FX. *wink*

[aKaiPuNKeTa]

I love your videos! Everything you do sounds sooo interesting. But, I live in Tijuana and I didn't study film or any of that stuff. I studied Language Teaching.

[NationalFilmSociety]

You don't have to know anything in particular. However, the more the you know, the better chances you have.
