THE JOE GILLIS INTERNSHIP IN WRITING AND ENTERTAINMENT
A Joint Next-Generation Cultural Studies Project by the Department of English & Comparative Literature, San Diego State University and Nash Entertainment, Hollywood

Looking for a unique way to put that English degree to use? Thinking about an alternative to graduate school or teaching? Or do you just like movies and reality shows? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then consider the first annual Joe Gillis Internship your chance to gain unique experience in the world of Film and TV.

"The Industry" has always and will forever hold in high regard men and women with a critical understanding of fundamental storytelling - whether it be on the page of a script, story analysis (the stepping stone of every producer worth his or her salt), or in the edit bay (where the real magic happens). There are a wide range of career paths to be had in the world of entertainment, and this internship is designed to expose you to as many as possible in the comfort of a Los Angeles summer.

The internships begin July 1st and will run approximately 6 weeks (duration being flexible, given individual and production schedules). Production companies may include: Nash Entertainment (Who Wants to Be a Superhero - SciFi; Amazing Sports Stories - FSN) and others!

You don't have to be a film or TV major to find exciting, lucrative work in the world of entertainment. If you are an English or Comparative Literature major you have a unique skill set that cannot be overstated! Joe Gillis had a dream when he came to Hollywood, he just didn't have a plan. Don't be like Joe. This internship in his honor is all the entrée you need. Positions are limited so don't wait. Interested majors should send a brief description of yourself and your talents to:
