A nod to our interns

We're lucky --- through a couple of university programs, word of mouth, and a couple of "hey, I like the project --- can I help?" conversations, we have a terrific staff of seven interns. Sarah is looking up media clips and checking on rights and availability, Gracie is currently writing up our next grant proposal, Stephen and Robert are beginning to step up as assistant editors, Tricia has been working on transcriptions, Mars has been compiling our film festival plan, and Ross has been working on graphic design and scanning. Having them makes our monthly meetings a lot more fun. There's good energy around the room.

Our next hope is that we can get some office space donated in the loop somewhere --- we've got a couple of leads on that.

Our next "deadline" is a screening at the veritable Kartemquin on June 29. The goal is to have the first 2/3 of the film done by then.

Back to work...

Yes, they're outstanding, and I can definitely see their day-to-day impact.

Now we just have to build our board! A local arts administrator was bemused that we had five staff/board members and seven interns.
