Facets

Summer Intern

May - August 2023 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

It was interesting working with kids and how they viewed film. They were always so excited to actually being working with the equipment and to come up with their own ideas. I feel like I learned a lot from them.

What I wish was different

I really wish it was paid. For the work and time we were doing it was too much to be unpaid. I'm now currently struggling financially for a summer of low income. There were also times when we were asked to do more than originally agreed on. I wish the kid had more time to film because they enjoyed it and learned so much more from it than the lectures.

Advice

You can learn a lot from kids even if you're teaching them.
