The Executive Producer In Action

During a Taping of "Speechless"

How Can a 21-Year-Old Be an Executive Producer?

Easy: by wanting to be one for the longest time. Producing is definitely one of my strengths: I love to multi-task, manage, delegate, create and stick to deadlines, and effectively communicate. I also enjoy being creative and working with others.


One day, I want to write and produce my own sitcom. If I could learn how to be a competent director, I'd do that as well. I love comedy because I love making people laugh and enabling them to poke fun of their own idiosyncrasies; Lord knows I have a lot of them! I also dream of working with my classmates because I had the chance to work with some of the most talented casting directors, technical directors, writers, producers, stage managers, audio, and post-production personnel. At the same time, I am awed by the professionals who work out in Hollywood and hope to meet and work with some of the industry's best people.


I'm ready to take charge and conquer the world of television. Hollywood, here I come!

Great Internships

Tonight's post is going to be short, but I wanted to take a moment to write about my internship at "Antiques Roadshow." I've only worked there a few days, but I love it so much. The people I work with (and for) are extremely nice, down to earth, and appreciative of every task I do for them. What's also great is that they don't want to reduce the interns to doing grunt work--and that includes making coffee (though it is a plus).

I don't mind stuffing envelopes, sitting in front of the copy machine for eons, or fetching mail twice a day. My internship is exciting because it's production season. On Thursday, everyone leaves for the first production in San Diego (the executive producer and some staff members will fly out Wednesday). I'm so excited for them and really wish I could accompany them. Alas, someone has to stay in the office to hold down the fort. Although there is another intern who comes in on Thursdays and Fridays (when the crew normally flies out), I also have a pay job that I enjoy just as much.

I hope the good times keep coming at AR.
