Happy 4th! (5th...whatever)

Well I've been in LA for just over a month and I'm having a blast.

I really lucked out with my internship at Sidney Kimmel: the office is relaxed yet professional and I'm learning a ton. The employees are mostly young, smart and ambitious. The cherry on top is that they are making SPECTACULAR films.

Upcoming SKE films include:

Talk to Me
Charlie Bartlett (I got to watch this a couple of weeks ago. Think Ferris Bueller's Day Off meets Igby Goes Down but with a more appealing protagonist.)
Death at a Funeral

And in the near future:

The Kite Runner
Marriage
Synendoche, New York

SKE is really hitting the big time right now and I feel really lucky to be reading some great script submissions. Who knows, maybe some of them will end up on screen!

Quality films I've watched so far this summer:

Shortbus (!!!)
Magnolia
Breach
Dancer in the Dark
Stranger than Fiction
Nacho Libre
Sicko
Knocked Up
Night Watch
