1. You can get school credit from your college or university.
2. You can comute to and from the office during the week.
3. You are actively enrolled for the fall and not taking a semester off

I wouldn't mind answering some questions so you can email internship@roosterteeth.com With things you might have. I can only answer questions about the 3 internships above. I will do my best to find time to reply but please see if your questions are listed below. There really isn't more I can elaborate on.

• I'm (some age less than 17) and I want to know what you will be hiring for in (X) years.
  • I really don't know. We change rapidly as does the company.
• Do I need to take classes while I intern?
  • You must be taking classes at your institution during the Fall and Spring internships but not the summer.
• I don't have any experience but I am a fast learner.
  • Unfortunately, we can only accommodate a few interns so it's very hard to turn away someone who has a lot of experience. The deeper issue is that we value education and growing interns as much as possible. I strongly feel like the level of work and instruction we provide is on par with a higher level production course which is a much harder resource to find with internships in this industry. On the other hand, there are vast amounts of easy to access resources for beginners with a lot of enthusiasm. Let me also say this, it's great that this industry has grown so much with technology. You can shoot as much video as you want and it doesn't cost you anything. You can also edit as much as you want and it doesn't cost you that much time to make changes. Years ago, everyone was shooting on film and a 5 minute short could cost you $2,000 dollars in film cost and development. People were editing on linear editing bays and had a lot of extra steps to make simple changes. My bigger point is that there isn't as much of a real need to think before you do. People don't want to read a book but filmmaking has not changed at all for the last 60 years and honestly you are not going to re-invent it. There is so much information in published books for you to learn from. I highly highly recommend reading them if you really are a fast learner but don't have an extensive amount of work done. It's not about choosing between reading and making content. You can do both.
