Thank you for this opportunity

Thank you for organizing everything! Thank you. That was an amazing experience. This is not just their job but their passion. I had a chance to help set up the studio when companies booked the space to film commercials. I learned so much. And, It’s a fun work environment where people are super serious but always ready for a good laugh.

Great experience

I was the second Down Under Tom to work with them so they called me Texas Tom. These guys are really a fun group to work with. This is not just their job but their passion. I had a chance to help set up the studio when companies booked the space to film commercials. Also, I learned about all the latest equipment to check in and out to their clients. These guys work with some of the top film crews in the world so being around that really inspired me.

It’s a fun work environment

Work with the crew at Kingsize was the best part of the internship. They liked that I was from America and were always curious to learn more about me. They taught me a bunch about the equipment they use and I liked being on my feet throughout the day helping to outfit clients. It’s a fun work environment where people are super serious but always ready for a good laugh.

Thank you!

I’m glad to hear you’ve heard good news about me from the Director because I’ve truly, truly been enjoying this internship! I filmed a video walking through the museum just yesterday. After the internship itself- it’s really, really great!! Thank you again and again for organizing everything!
