Through a partnership between Lee’s production company, 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks, and the talent firm The Gersh Agency, Morgan’s School of Global Journalism and Communication will launch an intensive eight-week internship program.
Selected interns will have the opportunity to work in either Los Angeles or New York City alongside seasoned producers, delving into the various aspects of film production. The ultimate goal of the program is to equip students with the skills and experience necessary to secure full-time positions in the film industry upon graduation.
