Why I Intern at TFP: Francesca Sostar
By Stanley Meytin
In this series, our lovely interns reflect on their time at TFP, share something special about themselves and discuss what our company values mean to them.
What are 5 interesting things about you?
- I like to play the guitar on my free time, and learn new songs that I’m interested in.
- I love the author Jack Kerouac and my favorite book is “On the Road.”
- I studied in Los Angeles this past semester instead of being on campus at Syracuse University. In L.A. I took classes related to my major and had an internship at a media company. The experience offered me a lot of insight on the industry and provided me with real life work experience.
- On campus at Syracuse I have a radio station along with a friend of mine; we play music and talk about news.
- I love combining my passion for music and video by filming live concerts for a local theater in Syracuse.
Did you learn something new that you never thought you would?
Even though I’ve always been interested in learning the business side of the industry, I never really got a chance to be exposed to it until I started interning at True Film Production. Realizing how much goes into the preparing for a video shoot is very eye opening. I also was able to see the physical process of producing content when I was a production assistant for a project where we filmed the Belmont Stakes.
What project did you enjoy working on the most?
Working on the True Film Production Instagram account has probably been my favorite project. The intern group that I worked with in developing True Film Production’s Instagram was incredibly creative and productive. It was amazing being able to see our ideas come to life, which I believe is an incredibly rewarding experience. I enjoy coming up with creative concepts and seeing the progression of them from start to finish.
What is a moment at TFP that you were most proud of?
I was most proud when we got to post the first Instagram story because it was a project in which the interns and myself had a lot of freedom on. Also, I’m very excited about the Instagram account in general because it’s something that has undergone a lot of change. It will be a great feeling knowing I left something behind that will stay when I leave True Film Production.
How important is team comradery at TFP?
Team comradery is a very important aspect at TFP. It’s a very creative atmosphere, and I find that when I’m working in a positive team environment, that is when the best ideas arise. It’s also amazing to know that you can go up to anyone in the office if you have any questions and they are happy to help you, as well as teach you new things. This is something I think is essential when looking for a job. Not only do I have a great time working with my peers, but I also get to learn new things I wouldn’t have known before that will allow to build my knowledge in the media industry.
