Under CEO Joe Drake,<br>President Nathan Kahane and CFO Matthew Bakal, the company's projects<br>include Academy Award nominated Juno, Strangers (and the upcoming<br>Strangers sequel), Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Harold and Kumar 1<br>& 2, Stranger than Fiction, The Grudge, 30 Days of Night. Mandate's<br>upcoming films include the artificial insemination comedy, THE BASTER,<br>starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman; the roller derby comedy<br>Whip It, featuring Drew Barrymore in her directorial debut and starring<br>Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig and Juliet Lewis; I'm With Cancer, starring<br>Seth Rogen; and Harold & Kumar 3, starring Kal Penn and Jon Cho.<br><br><br>Mandate's Creative Department seeks motivated and hardworking interns<br>with a passion for film for the Spring 2009 semester. Because Mandate<br>is a small company, we make it our business to be in the center of<br>industry activity. We try to read every script, meet every piece of new<br>talent and make a point not to let anything pass by our desks<br>un-covered. We are looking for interns who are eager and hungry to get<br>their hands dirty as we rely on them to be part of the team. In<br>addition to typical intern duties (i.e., copying, filing, running<br>errands) our interns are expected to read and cover scripts, participate<br>in weekly script and project meetings, compile talent lists for upcoming<br>projects, do online research, etc. Additionally, because Mandate<br>oversees the film production process from financing and development<br>through physical production, interns will be exposed to multiple aspects<br>of the filmmaking process. This internship is unpaid; school credit<br>required. Resumes should be emailed to <a href="mailto:mandateinternship@gmail.com">mandateinternship@gmail.com</a>.<br></div></div></div><br></body></html>
