 Hi, I'm Ava. I'm a new intern here at ACMI. Come on in. That's so great to have you in the studio today. Hi, I'm so glad to be here. It's beautiful. I'm loving it. Yeah. So, you know, we like to ask our interns a few questions about themselves, try to get to know you a little better. So, you know, tell me a little bit about yourself. What's your favorite movie? Sure. Well, my favorite movie is Always Before Sunrise. That's my go-to. It's amazing. I've been working on my English recently. Would you want to talk in English? Just for laughs? Yeah, okay. That's a good idea. Um... I don't think I'm going to be able to make it for lunch today. I'm sorry. I... I met a guy on the train and I got off with him in Vienna. We're still there. Are you crazy? Probably. Okay, so our next question for you is, um, why ACMI? Why ACMI? Well, I have always wanted to work with cameras and make films, and I'm really interested in the news, and it's really hard to find an opportunity where you can really be actively involved in the whole production process, and ACMI offered that, and I'm really excited to be here. Sounds like a fun game. Okay, teachers in a lie. Let's do it. One, my favorite food is plain pasta. Two, I have zero siblings. Three, I love roller coasters. What do you think? You're correct. You already know me. Great interview. Thank you. David, I'm in turning at ACMI. What are you doing here? Well, it was last September, and the Tufts Career Fair was coming up. I was looking at the organizations that would be in attendance, and then suddenly something caught my eye. A little media production organization called ACMI. I didn't have any experience in media production, but I love trying out new things, and it seemed like a super interesting opportunity. When I got to the career fair, I found myself face-to-face with Jeff, J.B. and James. They told me all about the ACMI internship, and it sounded like a really great program where I'd be able to try out all kinds of roles and get great hands-on experience. I was sold, and that's why I'm here now. Can you believe that we're both here, and we're both seniors at Tufts University, and we're both from New York City? You know, to really test how well you know me, I'm going to tell you two truths and one lie. You don't have to tell me which one is which. Game on. One, I studied abroad in Madrid last spring. Two, I played the violin. Three, I went to the Youth Olympics for gymnastics. David, I literally saw you play violin when we were abroad together in Madrid. Of course I know what the lie is. Wow. I guess you really do know me well. Well, I'm so excited to intern with you at ACMI this semester. It's going to be a great time. How do I even start this Meet the Interns video? I mean, what is there even to talk about? Yeah, I mean, logically speaking, I could say, I'm L.A. Sayobihil. I'm from Denver, Colorado. Hearing none, seeing none. I should probably take a break with my favorite movie. I know I should run to Tufts Television to get some equipment. That should help. There's way more to say. I mean, I'm a senior at Tufts studying film. Yeah, they probably want to know why I want to intern at ACMI. I mean, I love film and television production. I love the idea of working for a community. I should probably talk about my interests in production. I love cinematography. I could probably show them clips like that short film I worked on last semester. The Food One. And then I could probably show them my final. Well, a Tufts One Lie thing would be cool. Like maybe I've met Jason Lamoa. Maybe I'm the youngest of nine siblings. And maybe I can't swim. I couldn't imagine having one sibling, let alone eight. That was easy. Hey, Karen. How are you? I'm good. Just starting to fall internship. It's overwhelming. But it's so fun. I meet new people and learning a lot. You just started at the passing school of design. Yeah, and I'm loving it. But, oh, it's so much work, though. I barely have enough time to veg and watch a TV show, let alone do anything else. What are you watching as your favorite TV show? You told me once, but these days I'm lucky enough if I remember my own name. Gilmore Girls. Some people call it DG to give it that cool vibe. Is that the one with the mother and the daughter and their, like, best friends? Yeah. And they love copy. They're, like, obsessed with it. They have it at a place called Luke Steiner. Something about it's charming yet sophisticated. Hey, do you remember that game we used to play, Truth or Dare? Oh, Karen, don't even. Every time we played that game, the dares just were so embarrassing. Oh, come on. It'll be fun. We can just stick to truth. I'm too tired to run up and down and my pink comes anyway. Well, I was worried for a minute. So, Karen, where are you from and what college did you go to? Um, lucky don't remember. I'm from a small town in Mass called Norwood. It's a small, cutesy little town and I graduated from UMass Boston. Now you're trying to see no backing out now. Fine. We'll shut you up. I'm from Boston Mass and I graduated from NYC. So, if we're not playing Truth or Dare, what if we played Two Truths in a Lie? Well, the thing is, I didn't go like everyone else. I grew up in a foster home. Oh, for real? That must have been hard. And? And I want to be an actress and be in the entertainment industry. Maybe you can move here after your internship and be like Carrie from Sex and the City. Well, kind of. Hey, did I tell you when on that second date with Chris Evans? Girl, that is a lie and you totally know it. You have to go up to that Captain America hottie and ask him out for a first date. Hey, girl can dream. On that note, come on. Let's open up a bottle of red wine, put cucumbers on our eyes and go reminisce about the good old days. I'll drink to that. Good morning. It's such a beautiful Friday and I'm currently outside of ACMI which is also known as Arlington Community Media. And this is also where the college journalism student Karen Sway is starting her first internship. Sway is a journalism student at Emerson College and this is the second semester of her junior year. As a dedicated journalism student, she enjoys and does actively seek every opportunity to practice her related skills both inside and outside of campus. I became interested in journalism since I was a freshman year in college. That was my major starting freshman year. But I became specifically interested in broadcasting journalism since the start of junior year. The internship at ACMI allows Sway to focus on improving both her on-camera and behind-camera skills. And here she spends a lot of hours in the studio and the control room. Being an anchor at a morning or evening mixed news shows is my ultimate career goal. Sway is from Beijing, China and she came to the United States in 2016 for high school in Asheville, North Carolina. Wanted to move to a bigger city to pursue her career, Karen got in Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. Besides spending time on schoolwork and internships, Sway enjoys cooking and working out in the gym. She loves discovering creative ways to prepare delicious meals and sharing them with her friends. I think she cooks pretty well and the taste, the thing she cooks is just the feel. With the arrival of the new year, Karen Sway is looking forward to the next semester. Reporting for ACMI News, I'm Karen Sway. My name is Colores. I am a general production intern at ACMI in the spring 2023. I chose ACMI out of all internships because I am experienced and familiar with filmmaking and I love to touch on a new realm of public as a TV production under a nonprofit that can benefit the community around it. Moreover, this internship is closely tied to my major, which allows me to learn from my hobbies.
