A New Hope: Episode Four

What would I do without Timon? He ditched a well-paying job and traveled to the other side of the world with me, braving -16 degree weather, foreign languages, David Hasselhoff and paralysing New York wages in pursuit of a dream. And because of him I am one step closer to mine.

I mentioned a few blogs ago that Timon had found an internship position at review, news and editorial website Digital Hippos, writing articles on music and gaming titles. In a stroke of awesomeness he promoted me to his boss and I now find myself on staff as a writer in the film department! I have the opportunity to write reviews, conduct interviews with filmmakers, put together news items, write editorials and generally spout off about films I love/hate. While the position is yet unpaid I have already been lining up press passes to upcoming film festivals in the city and negotiating free passes to regular screenings. It is the most exciting, scary and challenging prospect this side of moving to the other side of the world and braving -16 degree weather, foreign languages, David Hasselhoff and paralysing New York wages. This opportunity is a bright and shiny ray of light in an otherwise dreary career outlook.
