I'm 17 years old (soon to be 18) and I have quite a bit of experience with film making and editing and generally post production. I was thinking that this summer it would be excellent to intern at a production house or post production house or something similar. I don't need to be paid because I still live at home and it would look good on my resume and maybe they would hire me once summer is done or something (this may be woefully optimistic but I don't know haha). I'm in seattle so there are quite a few such places but I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how to obtain something like this. Should I visit the building and bring a resume and a demo reel of my work? Should I email? Do I need a demo reel? What are they looking for? Is this feasible at all? A resume would be pretty lame considering I'm 17 and have no true work in video under my belt. I did professional theater for a bunch of years so that would be all that was on there. Should I write them an email explaining what I have experience in?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
