Edit, format and post approximately one per month during the time they are with them. As an added bonus, this intern will get to work with national voice talent Edd Hall who was the voice of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for ten years. You can see examples of what they do in the youtube vid I provided. Basically, it involves using studio released publicity clips and editing them into mash-ups which support the site’s literary reviews.

Description: Social Network Strategy Intern - Help shape, guide and implement the site’s evolving outreach on platforms that they have already set up (WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube) and suggest other alternatives. They would ideally like this person to start with some knowledge of all or most of these platforms so the internship could be devoted to using them rather than starting from ground zero.

NYIT-NUPT Student Film Festival and International Symposium
This first opportunity to submit some of your work comes to us from The New York Institute of Technology. They are sponsoring the 4th Annual NYIT-NUPT Student Film Festival and International Symposium. It will be held in Nanjing, China from April 21st to the 22nd.
The Film Festival and Symposium will consist of presentations and panel discussions by prominent directors, producers, and academics, and will accompany the international student short narrative and animation film competition that has evolved over the past four years.
Theme
The theme of the film festival and the accompanying symposium is “Longing and Inhibition in Film.” Films and learned presentations may be concerned with topics related to how people ignore, hide, or repress their longings, or how they try to change or transcend them, or render them impotent or superfluous by confronting them consciously.
Participants may consider ways in which people attempt to reconcile themselves to fundamental limitations, or inhibitions, they face in trying to satisfy their longings, or alternatively, how people act destructively toward themselves or others in trying to attain the unattainable. We especially welcome films and discourse presentations that explore themes in which a failure to satisfy elemental desires leads to an unexpected or serendipitous satisfaction of desires of a more transcendent sort—those sometimes considered to be more noble, dignified, or spiritual.
In paper and PowerPoint presentations, such issues may be approached from a variety of critical perspectives and could involve a variety of topics, such as any of the following: love, intimacy, or attraction; the desire for recognition, social status or material gain; the longing for original creative achievement; or the pursuit of self-improvement or self-perfection. Specific examples of longing may include any kind of aspiration such as the longing to go abroad or achieve a higher degree, complete a triathlon, or climb a mountain, for instance.
Film submissions can offer dramatic portrayals of any of the themes that are invited in the papers.
There will be a panel of judges consisting of noted directors, producers and academics. They will choose the top student short narrative and computer animation films in the festival. Winners will receive trophies and cash prizes in each of these two categories: First Place, $1,500.00; Second Place, $750.00; Third Place, $475.00; Two Consolation Prizes, $150.00. All participants whose films are chosen as finalists will receive an NYIT Certificate of Excellence from the distinguished panel of judges.
For more information, as well as submission forms, head on over to The New York Institute of Technology’s official site!
