CLEVELAND, Ohio – Independent Pictures will teach marketable
filmmaking skills to local residents this summer by giving them hands-on
experience in the production of an original short film.



Independent Pictures, the nonprofit parent organization of the Ohio
Independent Film Festival, is looking for students age 17 and up for its
2008 Film Production Internship program that will teach Cleveland
students the basics of working on all aspects of a film.



Dedicated to enlivening the arts world and improving the community,
Independent Pictures will provide classroom instruction and on-the-set
experience to 20 interns who will gain valuable entry-level job skills
they can use in Northeast Ohio's developing film industry.


The four-week program culminates in the actual film shoot of "Wall
of Fame." This original short feature film written by Carolyn Jack
tells the gently comic story of a young man who learns that the
hardworking people who stayed in his hometown may be more important than
the famous people who left.



Intern classes begin July 7, 2008, and will end around Aug. 1, 2008.
Applications for the program are currently available by email,
ohiofilms@... <mailto:ohiofilms@...> , or by calling
216.651.7315 .


Independent Pictures' Film Production Internship Program is
supported by Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, Tellite Productions, Ward 17
Neighborhood Equity Fund and The Plain Dealer.
