> Post-production internship on independent documentary
>
> Our currently untitled film is a feature-length documentary that  
> examines the roots of Carnival's history in New Orleans and  
> explores the dominant effects that the annual festival has on every  
> aspect of the city.  Southern politics, racial tensions, and  
> economic power are some of the undercurrents in one of America's  
> oldest cities.  Our portrait of New Orleans shows how the city's  
> focus on Mardi Gras both hinders and supports its citizens.
>
> Approximately 60 hours of footage has been shot on two trips to the  
> New Orleans area.  The first trip, during the 150th Mardi Gras  
> festival, allowed us to gather footage of the first Carnival since  
> the Katrina hurricane and the ensuing flood.  Additional footage  
> was shot in the lower 9th ward, where most of the devastation  
> looked the same six months after the water receded.
>
> The second trip included interviews with every notable Carnival  
> historian in New Orleans, as well as with figures in the economic  
> and business communities.  Other interviewees included people  
> opposed to this year's Carnival and people involved with grass  
> roots organizations that fight for the rights of the poor and  
> displaced.
>
> As we are entering the editing stage, we are looking for people who  
> are interested in documentary films from either a post-production  
> or production standpoint.  While initial intern duties may include  
> heavy post-production tasks, there are many areas to gain valuable  
> knowledge:
>
> POST-PRODUCTION
> We are working with 60-70 hours of anamorphic DVCAM video that will  
> be edited in Final Cut 5.  Persons with editing experience are  
> encouraged to apply.  If your skills allow, you will have the  
> opportunity to present your own rough cuts.  If you don't have  
> Final Cut experience, you will have the opportunity to learn the  
> basics.
>
> We are preparing a master with a plan for nationwide theatrical  
> distribution.  Our intention is to upconvert the footage to a 1920  
> x 1080 HD master for final color correction.  You will have a  
> chance to see a project go beyond Final Cut and DVD's and be around  
> a state-of-the-art online/mastering process.
>
> Onscreen credits will be given based on participation.  There is a  
> possibility to earn an Assistant Editor credit depending on the  
> level of participation.  Anyone who interns and participates can  
> receive a Post-production Assistant or a Production Assistant  
> credit, depending on their area of focus.
> PRODUCTION
> Depending on your interest, you will be invited to participate in  
> almost every remaining step of the filmmaking process.  A third  
> trip to New Orleans is planned, and there are interviews available  
> with figures from around the country should we need them as editing  
> progresses.  A website is under construction and your input can  
> help shape the film's online presence.  We are still seeking  
> additional funding from private donors and public organizations.   
> You will see how to raise funds for a documentary and how to  
> stretch your production dollars.  You will also get to participate  
> as the film is screened at festivals, marketed for distribution,  
> and eventually, released.
>
> I look forward to meeting all individuals who are interested in  
> creating a film that will change the way the US views its worst  
> domestic disaster of the past 50 years.
>
> Thank you for your time,
