Any chance you’d be interested in a high school student? I have an excellent senior who has oodles of potential and wants to work in the entertainment industry but comes from an academically disadvantaged background.
Yes, sure. Interested in finding a smart person who wants to go on this journey with me. Thanks
I’m UK based research student, have been following your blog for a while now, as it is extremely relevant for my research project. Any chance for a long-distance collaboration?
Regards,
Eva
Does one have to be a student to participate? Or does one have to be located georaphically on the west coast?
Wow this sounds like a dream internship, too bad it wasn’t around when I was writing my thesis on women’s authorship in 21st century cinema, last year, I would have hopped on a plane and come knocking on your door;D
In other news did you see this yet, about Hurt Locker? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8440979.stm

I have the PERFECT intern for you – a former student of mine – she’s a social networking genius, creative, a pop culture savant, organized, self-motivated, and really nice. Plus, she’s local (OC). She’s actually used your site as a research tool for her communication classes and mentioned how much she loved it. I can’t wait to tell her about this.
