Introduction and Summary

During my Fall 2014 internship with Miami International Film Festival, I saw profound

combinations of anxiousness and excitement in many directors’ eyes as I shook their hands on the red carpet of MIFFecito (a smaller version of the 32-year-old Miami International Film Festival (MiamiFF) that provides a mid-season “taste” of the main edition, which will run March 6-15, 2015). And that was when I realized that my position in Miami International Film Festival was incredibly significant– I’m the liaison between the filmmaker and the audience. Their work– their lives– are on the line because of me. Founded in 1983 by the Film Society of Miami Inc., the Festival has continued to bring the finest in world cinema to South Florida. MIFF has gained recognition with its consistently high quality of programming and presentations from filmmakers, critics, and the film industry. Talented, world-renowned film makers, curators, and actors fly in from around the world to see their masterpiece be viewed by Miami-Dade county. A lot of these films have never premiered in the United States so the nervousness is understandable but MiamiFF tastefully presents the city of Miami and the film industry, a singular platform that fosters creative and technical talent. I was an intern of the Communications and Publications Department, where I closely worked with my on-site supervisor, Tatyana Chiocchetti. I worked an average of fifteen to twenty hours a week and during my time, I had to learn the ins and outs of the company while I practiced writing blogs, in their style, for their blog site (I got a byline for two published blogs), searched and contacted hundreds of companies by myself in the South Florida area, assisted my on-site supervisor in critiquing film submissions for MiamiFF32, worked with MIFF’s social

media, and attended/assisted during MIFF events. This 240-hour internship took eleven weeks to complete. This internship fits with my experience in the Professional Writing program because I was easily able to apply what I learned over the years to my tasks. I proofread and edited numerous documents, so my knowledge from Technical Writing and Advanced Grammar came in handy. I was also no stranger to writing blogs for the internship; I have an awesome blog of my own, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve established and maintained other, class-related blogs for Dr. Comerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multimedia classes. This internship also fits with my experience in Campus Activities Board (CAB). The university-funded organization gave me the skills I needed to network and outreach. During my presidency, I was responsible for finding unique talents to bring to Barry University so I contacted agencies, managers, and even amateur artists via YouTube. I also learned about marketing and advertising through CAB which definitely helped me in MIFF, when I had to do social media marketing for MIFFecito.

Today, Tatyana gave me my first task via the phone. We were supposed to meet up today but

couldn't due to her hectic schedule. However we will meet this Friday at her office in Key Biscayne. My first task was to do as much research as I could about an independent Chilean/French film called “To Kill a Man”. The film was written and directed by Alejandro Fernández Almendras. My thorough research contributed to Tatyana’s blog post about the film on miamifimfestblog.com. For the first 2 hours, I gathered a lot of facts. I had to search who this filmmaker was, what made him create this film, and how talented he was. Little did I know, Alejandro Fernández Almendras had won a number of prizes from film festivals all over the world, including the 2014 Miami International Film Fest. From there, I sent Tatyana my rough draft which she then made a few changes and suggestions via “Track Changes” and sent that document back to me. I followed her guidelines and edited my work . My final draft left her impressed and she was ready to write her blog. The entire task took me 4 to 5 hours. I feel like I could improve on my researching skills. I need to come up with more creative ways to find what I’m looking for.

To Kill A Man by Alejandro Fernández Almendras! Research! - Alejandro Fernández Almendras wrote and directed this film ! “Although a lover of the cinema from an early age, Chilean director Alejandro Fernández Almendras attended journalism school before finally finding a camera in his hands for the first time 14 years ago.” (filmlinc.com)! “[Alejandro Fernández Almendras] studied at the School of Journalism at the University of Chile. After graduating he won a scholarship to study for 6 months in New York, gets a job there in EFE allowing you to live in America From 2003 until 2007, he directed several shorts that go around the international circuit, highlighting along came the rain (2007)” **Had to translate this Spanish website to English** (http://cinechile.cl/ persona-3352)! “The film is loosely based on a true story. Some five years ago I saw a news report about this family being harassed by a local thug and how they felt desperate and frightened….When the reporter asked the assassin if given the same conditions—the threatened family, the inefficiency of the justice system, the growing menace of the thug—he would go the same road again and kill the man, he says, categorically: "No, because you don't have any idea what it means to kill a man." Those words resonated a lot in me…” (Alejandro Fernández Almendras, filmlinc.com)!

! To Kill A Man” has won! • The World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival! • The Special Jury Prize at the 2014 Fribourg International Film Festival! • The Miami Future Cinema Critics Award at the 2014 Miami International Film Festival ! • The KNF Award at the 2014 Rotterdam International Film Festival! - Setting: A ficticious suburb in Chile!

Reviews! • “Alejandro Fernández Almendras is NOT making an action movie, he is instead bringing a psychological study on what it means to kill a man.” (Paul Allear imdb.com)! • “"To Kill A Man" immediately recalls the theme from "Death Wish", yes, the Charles Bronson 1970s vigilante movie(s) where Bronson takes justice in his own hands.” (Paul Allear imdb.com)! • “A grim, fat-free revenge thriller that extracts an impressive degree of moral equivocation from its exceedingly simple premise.” (Guy Lodge, variety.com)! • “terrifically tense” (The Guardian)! • “dramatic” (The Guardian)! • “a plausible case for murder” (The Guardian)! • “A deeply serious film, one both socially engaged and morally sophisticated. As a person, Almendras gives an impression of great comic wit, so much so that, having not yet seen the film, I had assumed it would be a light comedy; what soon became apparent is that as a filmmaker, his wit did indeed remain intact, though expressed in an unexpected manner.” (Calum Marsh film.com)! • “The film has established a scenario in which oppression is a daily reality, a constant fact of life — unless something is done about it. “ (Calum Marsh film.com)

August 28th, 2014 Today, Tatyana needed help finding ethnic companies, organizations, and associations in the Miami area. She knew it would be tough for me but had faith in me! My task was to search and find anything from Poland, Hong Kong, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka in Miami, Florida. From there I would take the company’s name, address, phone number, and email address and place that information in an Excel spreadsheet with her formatting. This was for Tatyana’s mailing list to help rare cultures of Miami come together and support Miami International Film Festival’s events. The search took me three hours for me to feel like all hope was lost! It was super difficult; I couldn’t even find anything Bhutanese. Majority of my findings were Polish companies but Tatyana was just thrilled I found a handful. In total, I found 9 different ethnic companies that fit Tatyana’s criteria. Tomorrow we should pick up from where I left off and find more companies together at her office. Today’s experience once again made me feel like I need to improve my research skills. I ended up in a lot of dead end websites and called a handful of unhelpful businesses.

! ! August 30th, 2014 Today I finally met Tatyana! What a great boss to have. She was patient, inviting, very talkative, and has a great heart. As soon as I got to her home office, we got right to business. She showed me how to create and send “e-blasts” to Miami Film Festival subscribers. Creating and editing one took us 4 hours to make it perfect. We were proofreading the same document at least 8 times, re-writing and constantly fixing the text. I feel happy that my editing skills helped Tatyana work faster than usual, so she said. She even let me see at the main desk and edit the work as she looked on from the side (I should’ve taken a picture of that moment). After that brain draining task, she showed me other private websites she use to upload MIFF work, photos, and charts for future references; and to end the day, we watched and critiqued a few short films submitted to MIFF for the 2015 film festival. We turned some down! haha Next week I will be assisting

Cafecito is casual, free-of-charge event MIFF held today to announce the films they’ll be show-

ing at the MIFFecito film festival from October 16th to the 19th of this year. It was like a “coffee break” so they had a professional barista who made incredibly delicious and customizable cuban coffee. The event was held at MDC’s Tower Theatre in Little Havana, from 3 to 4pm. It was definitely an adventure traveling there from Barry via public transportation; from Little Haiti to Little Havana, it’s culture shock. I met the rest of the MIFF team: the president of MIFF— Jessica Wade, Head of Communications, Tere Estorino and others (I know their faces but forgot their names). My boss, Tatyana, showed me around the theatre and gave a little background on venue. Once the event began, she assigned me to hand out mini fliers and say “Gratis café!” (Free coffee) to the public and push crowds to the Tower Theatre. Great marketing strategy to bring awareness to the film festival. Around 3:30pm the event began. Everyone went into of theatre one to watch the trailers of the intriguing films to be shown at MIFFecito. I have to say, I can’t wait to see them all and be a part of this festival. !

September 3rd, 2014!

Today I had to write a blog post for the MIFF blog site in regards to an upcoming film being shown at MIFFecito called, Carmina y Amén. Writing a blog about a film you’ve never seen be-

Week 2 (Aug. 30th — Sept. 5th)!

Page 2

fore is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. This task took me a while. I did a lot of research, checked out the reviews on the film, and discovered the director’s background. Apparently this film is a successful comedy created by a popular Spanish actor named Paco León. His mom is the main character of the film who plays a ludicrous and hilarious character named Carmina. Carmina y Amén is the sequel to Carmina or Blow Up— which I saw part of that film. The director’s real life sister plays a big part in the Carmina y Amén too. This director is pretty awesome using his real family in his beginner movies.! I felt terrible that it took me about 2 and a half hours to write a little under 300 words. I tired my best to sound knowledgable and persuasive. Tatyana needed my version to write it in Spanish for the blog. She found it to be satisfactory and used some of my work. !

! !

September 4th, 2014!

I had 2 tasks to do today. Both took a lot of time and research. The first task Tatyana gave me was to find as much information as I can about Italian actress Isabella Rosselini’s TV series “Green Porno”. Rosselini is having a live on stage show in Miami during November so Tatyana needed to create an “eBlast”—a creative newsletter-like email to MIFF subscribers. I made my own mock eBlast for Tatyana (It’s pretty ugly but it was to give her an example of how it would look). After a few hours, Tatyana liked most of it. She just changed the main photo to something more clear and better-looking and gave me a tip: “Always write out the day of the week alongside with the date of the event so people instantly know if they’re available that day.” After watching a few of Rosselini’s weirdly funny show via Youtube, I want to attend the event now. ! !

The second task was to add and edit MIFF’s program guide excel sheet. I had to fix up

and edit the long synopsis of each film and well as the director’s biography. This task took me a while but after triple proofreading, the info was ready to be published online. !

Week 2 (Aug. 30th — Sept. 5th)!

Page 3 September 5th, 2014!

Today I have to search for more South Florida businesses for the MIFFectio outreach. I had to find companies related to cerebral palsy for the film “Life Feels Good”, a story about a young man with cerebral palsy struggling to communicate with the world, and LGBTQ companies for the film “A Conversation with Moisés Kaufman & THE LARAMIE PROJECT Retrospective Screening” which deals with LGBTQ issues in the midwest. ! After that I helped Tatyana edit and proofread the “Festival Insider” which is another eBlast describing the MIFFecito films. I found a typo and hyperlinked the film trailers to the eBlast. It took us forever to find an English trailer for “I Can Quit Whenever I Want”. Unsuccessful, Tatyana decided to settle for an Italian trailer. Approved by Jaie Laplante, her boss, the eBlast was sent. !

! This week I made a lot of minor mistakes. I missed plenty of typos and even did typos myself. I need to focus a lot better and catch all errors because it would look bad on me, Tatyana and Miami Film Festival if an eBlast or any document had a typo. I remember Dr. Comer saying that it ruins your ethos if your audience catching your typos and mistakes. A large company can definitely lose its credibility for that. So that’s something I need to fix now! It’s very careless.

Carmina y Amen!

Notable Spanish actor and now award-winning director, Paco Leon, has made his directing comeback! The uniquely comical low-budget film, Carmina or Blow Up, had the nation of Spain laughing in tears back in 2012. Illustrating Leon’s real-life mother/actress Carmina in a more outrageous perspective, there’s no doubt that the sequel, Carmina y Amen, will have you bent over in your seat, laughing once again. !

Leon continues to keep it all in the family. The comedic relationship between Carmina and her daughter (played by Leon’s real life sister, Maria Leon of “La voz dormida”) is exaggerated and whimsical as they partake in illegal activity involving money, regret, and adventure.! Carmina’s husband, Antonio, dies in his armchair in the very first scene, and Carmina wants to make sure she gets Antonio’s bonus paycheck, so she decides to temporarily conceal his death with frozen foods from the freezer to get through the weekend. As friends and neighbors drop by, the chain-smoking Carmina drops one bon mot after another to keep them – and us – deliriously entertained.!

“Carmina y Amen is enhanced with deeper, more mature work that ups the ante on Carmina’s outrageous, larger-than-life outlook on family, sex, death and any other topic that falls into her purview.” (Jaie Lapante) The film has won two awards at the Málaga Spanish Film Festival this year for Best Screenplay (by Paco Leon) and Best Supporting Actress (by Yolanda Ramos). Original, clever, and all around hilarious, this witty film will leave you impressed.!

Miami Film Festival is proud to premiere this film for the first time in North America at MIFFecito 2014 located at MDC’s Tower Theatre in Miami, Florida on Friday, October 17th (9:30pm).

Join us for a glorious throwback to Miami’s heyday of jazz and gamblers, at the newly reDESCRIPTION opened Ball & Chain on Calle Ocho. A historic music club dating back to 1935, that once hosted the wildly popular Billy Holiday and Count Basie; its newly refurbished grand bar and bandstand will ignite your imagination as they set the scene for MIFFecito’s Opening Night Party and an evening of brazen delights. Toast the Festival and ring in the weekend with a night of Cuban celebration, as only Little Havana knows how. Revel with your fellow A Havana to movie lovers inboy livesent music, reform school becomes the traditional Cuban tapas, and subject of a moral tug-offlowing spirits from Bombay war between generational Sapphire and Stella Artois. ideologies in today’s Cuba. The outrageous, largerthan-life Carmina Barrios is back in a chain-smoking, laugh-out-loud sequel to the 2012 Carmina or Blow Up (Carmina o revienta). A group of post-graduate intellectual students apply their refined but completely unmarketable skills to the illicit drug trade, much to the chagrin of the local Mafia, in this witty comedy nominated for 12 Donatello Awards. Cecilia, a 10-year-old Mexican girl, crosses the border hoping to find a better life in the US, but her treacherous journey into the Promised Land will test her spiritual and physical fortitude. Locked inside a body severely afflicted by cerebral palsy, a determined Mateusz fights for 26 years to communicate with the world. Like My Left Foot, this film is based on a true story. Happy-go-lucky couple Carmen and Alfredo’s relationship begins to suffer when only one of them is able to shed pounds after joining a weight-loss program.

Amalia embarks on a journey with nine-year old Cristóbal to search for the boy’s father after his mother suddenly passed away. A love-smitten Seville man must pretend to be Basque in order to win the girl of his dreams, in this taboobusting satire of the cultural divide between northern and southern Spain. Marcos’ grandmother’s death forces Hansel, his worldly brother, to return Cuba to care for him, and an old family game helps restore the trust lost over the years. Retrospective 4K digital screening and in-person conversation with director Moisés Kaufman of the landmark 2002 HBO film about the aftermath of Matthew Shepard’s murder in Wyoming. Forbidden love between a Hindi dancer "married" to Krishna, and a young, handsome but lowly Muslim pottery apprentice, stir the senses in this lush visual feast. Cecilia, a 10-year-old Mexican girl, crosses the border hoping to find a better life in the US, but her treacherous journey into the Promised Land will test her spiritual and physical fortitude. Amalia embarks on a journey with nine-year old Cristóbal to search for the boy’s father after his mother suddenly passed away.

Week 3 (Sept. 6th — 12th)!

Page 1 September 6th, 2014!

Today Tatyana wants me to search for more multicultural businesses and companies to add to the Multicultural Businesses of SoFlo spreadsheet. After 4 hours of using 3 different search engines (which did not make a difference), I gave up for the day. It is REALLY hard to find anything in relations to Bhutan or Hong Kong in Miami, Florida. I kept running into Chinese restaurants. !

! September 8th, 2014! The opening night of MIFFecito is going to be huge! Behavior (Conducta) was a box office hit in Cuba when it released. It is now the center of attention of our October film festival. Director Ernesto Daranas and actor Héctor Tomas will be in attendance which is even more exciting. Anyway, Tayana needs to write a blog about Opening Night and Behavior so she asked me to do research on the film and director then give her the notes. ! I discovered why Behavior was such a hit in Cuba; it examines the country’s contemporary is-

sues and gives voice to the frustrations, complications, and anxiety. Ultimately, Behavior delivers optimism about the nation’s future.! I got key quotes from websites that were entirely en español (I just translated pages and edited the sentences) and described the film the best way I could. Tatyana loved my research! Yay!

! !

September 10th, 2014!

Wow! It took me 8 hours to find associations, businesses, companies, and organizations in relations to Hong Kong, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Cerebral Palsy, Poland, and the LGBTQ community in South Florida. Remember when I couldn’t find anything on September 6th? Well, I successfully improved my research skills and found about 30 more companies to add to the Multicultural Businesses in SoFlo spreadsheet. I don’t even know how that happened to be honest, haha. I

Week 3 (Sept. 6th — 12th)!

Page 2

just re-worded my words. I also did something cleaver; I realized that Sri Lanka and Bhutan are Buddhist/Hindu countries so I found plenty of Buddhist and Hindu centers in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. ! Did you know that there’s a gay city in South Florida called Wilton Manors? 90% of the businesses there are LGBT owned or affiliated. I learned something new! Research is not fun. I had to call many people to get an email address or website; I was denied by a few. Hopefully my findings will be enough for Tatyana. !

! September 11th, 2014! More research today! This time I’m searching for any organization or business that relates to the themes of the MIFFecito films. So I’ve been searching for anything that deals with the Latino community, at-risk youth, Holistic health centers, and Asian American organizations.! After that, I proofread the MIFFecito Ticket Sale eBlast that Tatyana worked on and found 3 minor errors which I highlighted in the PDF file attached. The “J” in the sentence “Now’s the time to join Miami Film Society!” was capitalized, the sentence “Tickets go on sale for General Public next Thursday, 9/18” needs a definite article before “General Public”, and in the description about the opening night film, Conducta, there was no space between the words “Daranas’” and “second”. Another long day but I’m glad our outreach has tripled in size! !

! Overall! This was a hard week. One, I worked 21.5 hours this week to make up some hours for last week. And second, one of personal flaws have gotten Tatyana in trouble with her boss. I don’t ask questions unless I’m extremely lost. Last week, when I was working on inserting a long synopsis to each MIFFecito film and the director’s biography to a “MIFF” spreadsheet, I did not know that Tatyana wanted the entire 2-paragraph explanation of each film and its credentials. I

Week 3 (Sept. 6th — 12th)!

Page 3

assumed the spreadsheet just needed a more detailed summary of the film itself—not the commentaries or how many awards it won. I never brought what I did to Tatyana’s attention so since she trusted me, she barely looked at my work and submitted it to her boss. ! She got a harsh phone call from him and from there we had a seriously stern phone call where I nearly lost my internship. I will from now on ask any question I have in mind. I personally don’t like that because it makes me feel like I’m not smart enough to grasp information (or Tatyana may think I don’t listen to her if I ask questions about the task) but I’ve learned that I need to put my pet peeves aside and get the job done correctly. That phone call was such a harsh reality of what this job title entails if you screw up and ever since that talk, I’ve been extra cautious and call Tatyana for every little thing. My work has improved so I guess I needed that scary moment of almost losing this internship. Time to rest, no internship work tomorrow because it will be my 22nd birthday :-)

MIFFecito Opening Night! Behavior Conducta - Cuban screenwriter/director Ernesto Daranas emulates the complex and impoverished culture of Cuba through his latest social phenomenon, Conducta. The film examines contemporary issues and gives voice to the society’s frustrations, complications, and anxiety. However, it ultimately delivers optimism about the nation’s future.! - Eneresto Daranas has a degree in Geography and Education. Just before he graduated college, Daranas had the opportunity to write and direct for radio, television and theater but he begun his filmmaking career in 2008 with the low budget film, Los Dioses Rotos (Broken Gods).! - Actor Héctor Noas graduated from the Higher Institute of Arts in Havana, Cuba with a Bachelors in Performance. He has hosted several award shows and film festivals in Cuba and used to be a radio actor. He has acted in a plethora of television shows, film, and even directed in theater. Noas has worked with Daranas prior to Conducta in Dioses Rotos (Broken Gods) and won a Caricato Award for his fascinating performance. Noas plays the character of Thomas in Conducta.! - Conducta has a coherent screenplay with relatable and captivating characters that use accurate dialogue ! - The child actors in this film have no acting experience which gives Conducta more authenticity ! - “Cubans are fiercely proud of their national cinema and consistently flock to Havana’s crumbling theaters to see their peculiar reality reflected on the big screen…” (remezcla.com)! - “I think Cuban cinema has shown a marked concern for social issues which has given us some of our most important works.” says Daranas (remezcla.com)!

Monday, September 8, 2014

- “[Conducta] was really well received in Guadalajara and in Málaga we just won several prizes. These have been two really nice first steps that, beyond the prizes, tell us that the film can be shared with a broader audience. As for New York, we’re very happy that our principal actors and our casting director can be part of this festival.” says Daranas (remezcla.com)!

! ! - Conducta has won 4 awards at the 2014 Málaga Spanish Film Festival ! • Audience Award (Territorio Latinoamericano: Premio del Público)! • Best Latin American Actress (Territorio Latinoamericano: Mejor Actriz) won by Alina Rodríguez ! • Best Latin American Film (Territorio Latinoamericano: Mejor Película)! • Best Latin American Director (Territorio Latinoamericano: Mejor Director)! - “Daranas, also in charge of writing the screenplay, he said, during a presentation of the project, which conduct was done with "street children" and confessed that one of the biggest challenges was understanding with them.” (cubacine.com)! - “…The children are the ones who steal the show. They “live” their roles with astonishing naturalness, especially Armando Valdés, who failed his first casting and was chosen at the last minute, and who gave his unforgettable Chala the harshness and the tenderness, the early maturity and the boyishness required by his character.” (cubaabsolutely.com)! - "Undoubtedly, the film is aimed at adults, trying to make them reflect on issues such as education, values, ethical conflicts ... We have to fight for all that is lost and out of the classroom," Alina Rodriguez (who plays Carmela) said. (cubacine.com)
