Q. What are some highlights from your THF internship experience?

Q. How has your involvement with the T. Howard Foundation influenced your career?

It has helped me to launch my career and brand as a filmmaker. When I mention to people that I am a part of the THF alumni community there is an immediate positive response. Also, the opportunity to network with individuals in the entertainment industry that I would not have had otherwise.

Network as much as you can and stay positive. The entertainment industry can be tough but a positive attitude will go a long way.
