\"\"<\/a>As I write this blog I\u2019m listening to calm Hawaiian music because it feels like I have been working non stop since the summer began.. well not really; but I have been very busy.<\/p>\n

So first on my list is my internship at WGBH. As you guys know I\u2019m a production intern at the PBS show, American Experience<\/em> we are still in the pre production phase but I\u2019ve enjoyed getting to partake fully in the process.<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s really been taking over my life is the film I\u2019m producing. This Saturday we\u2019ll begin production for a graduate student thesis film called Flesh Eaters<\/em>. It\u2019s about a boy who thinks his first communion is actually a zombie initiation rite and that he\u2019ll turn into a zombie when he takes communion. Pretty funny stuff if you ask me. Anyway, my role has been pretty much all of the administrative work. That means finding the actors, extras, locations, budget, and the list goes on and on. It\u2019s definitely a lot bigger of a monster than I had expected but I\u2019m so excited and thankful I\u2019ve been able to tackle such an important role so early on in my college career.<\/p>\n

My piece of advice for you guys is to get an internship or a job up here if you can during the summer. It is by far the best place to be. You have such easy access to the Charles River and the endless waterfront activities, a not too far escape to mountains in New Hampshire and other parts of Massachusetts, as well as of course, the entire city of Boston minus all of the students who are usually here crowding the streets.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to hear what you guys are doing and how you\u2019re enjoying the summer! Tweet at me @jasonkashdan to say hi or ask any questions you have. Hope you all had a great 4th<\/sup> of July!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
