James (Nicholas Tell) had the unpaid internship of a lifetime, “employed” by one of the biggest film studios on the planet. However, the 2 year job is about to come to a close and all of the interns, including his mortal enemy Darren (Corey Elder), will have to interview for the one spot that can give them a permanent job. If that’s not enough, James has been staying on the couch of his friend Mark (Ronnie Lyall) for the entirety of his internship and Mark is fed up with his freeloading. James has no other choice than to get the job or become homeless. Come along as James and Darren butt heads in a hilarious interview war where the winner proves that they are the biggest fan of movies and the loser never works in entertainment again.

Review by Andie Kay:
This lighthearted comedy gives an inside look into being an intern in Hollywood. It’s part underdog story and part tongue-in-cheek comedy with a gentle tug on your heartstrings. Nicholas Tell wrote, directed, produced, acted, edited, handled cinematography and lighting and probably handled krafty for the crew. He did almost everything and that is a sure sign of a labor of love. Nicholas did have help, Corey Elder was co-director, co-cinematographer, co-lighting guru and he also acted in the film. What is really cool is that you can see these two have a close friendship but in the film they are “mortal enemies”.
Nicholas and Corey did a great job with how it was lit and directed, plus the story is really sound. The music score from Daniel Nikolic was wonderful and fit the vibe of this film beautifully. I wish the sound was as stellar in the office as it was in the apartment sequences but you definitely got a feel of all the different relationships from each intern during their interviews. It was ending that warmed your heart and gave you a sense of hope that dreams can come true.
