Video Intern
Austin Film Society
Aug 2014 – May 2015
Performed a wide variety of tasks that evolved over nine months through a series of "semesters". Initially I performed various office tasks, providing general support for the staff. This involved a lot of data entry and I became comfortable with their in house database platform Raiser's Edge. After these initial four months I became a more specialized Video Intern, working directly with the head of programming. At this point I began editing trailers (using Adobe Premiere) that would screen before regularly programed films, and editing content for the Texas Film Awards. Myself and my co-intern also provided video documentation for numerous panels that took place after screenings including the Jewels in the Wasteland series hosted by Richard Linklater.
