Errands and Agents

Internship.

This Friday was FULL of errands. But I'm not complaining, cause that's better than sitting around all day. First, I drove to The Grove movie theater and picked up tickets for Andrew's family to go see Secret Life of Pets (although let's be real, I could have done this online). BUT, the cool thing I learned for that movie theater is that their refund policy is amazing. You can refund your ticket up to 30 minutes after the show starts so does this mean i can watch the first 30 minutes and then refund the ticket if i don't like it? probably not, somehow but i might try it one day. Next, I drove to the FedEx store on Cahuenga - luckily found a street parking spot) and spent 30 minutes there to send a fax and sort out a letter that needed to be sent in priority mail but then there were some problems so i tried to figure it out - but my boss ended up saying to just forget it! bless the asian man who was trying to help me out at the desk. After that, i drove to Andrew's house in west hollywood to make a delivery and then i got to go home early for the day!!

The other interesting thing that I'm leaving out is our... you guessed it... friday speaker! His name was James Robins Early and he is an Agent at ICM Partners. Of course he said the same thing as everyone else about making connections (he is still very close with our Director, Wynn) and the interesting part about his career path is that he originally wanted to be a producer. But after being an Agent, he says he enjoys being an Agent more than a producer's job because he gets to pull the whole movie together. For example, if a producer comes to him with an idea, he pulls the writer and the director. or if a writer pitches a script, he will pull the producer and director and vice versa. He likes to be able to pull all the puzzle pieces and put them together. He says he enjoys that more than being a producer and dealing with just one aspect. Which is pretty interesting, because it just goes to show you that no matter what you set out to be, you may not get there but that doesn't mean you won't be happy with where you end up. 

Overall, another solid week at work and I think everyone is starting to really see me/want that connection with me so yayayy!
