Retroactive Post: The Misadventures of a LA Intern – Week 9

Intern Report: Week 9 (Oct. 27-30)

“Did you hear?” Kyle asked me.

“Hear what?” I responded.

“We’re officially closing down on Friday.”

There wasn’t any sense of surprise in either of our voices. It never was a matter of “if” but “when”. Let it be known, this internship did not faze me out of the child-like eagerness of the experience. I felt like I worked my hardest, and I got the most out of it that I could. However, It did open me to an awareness of the actual situation that the industry is in. Goodspot closed for several reasons, and those reasons were apparently present for years. But the economy is such that it is taking no survivors, and those who are surviving are those packs of teenagers from Red Dawn. I plan to be one of those survivors.
