Campus MovieFest presented by Blooming Artists Agency
Campus MovieFest, created in 2000 by students at Emory University, has grown into the world's largest student film festival. The founders at Ideas United, LLC, have had the privilege of sharing their passion with students around the globe while working with great partner companies – including AT&T and Apple – to make the events possible.
Campus MovieFest is a unique film festival because students of all majors and experience level are given everything they need to write, shoot, and edit a short film in seven days. Campus MovieFest is the only event of its kind to provide thousands of student teams with Apple laptops, Panasonic HD camcorders, and training. In addition, hundreds of local musicians provide the best independent music that students have permission to use as their soundtracks. CMF is coming to IU and will take place March 26-April 1st and the finale showcase will be April 9th. The deadline to register is March 26th. Teams can register online at http://www.campusmoviefest.com/events/indiana/index.html
The movie-making events culminate in unforgettable finales, with the on-campus showcases attracting thousands of students and staff.
The finale will be held April 9th, 2009 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre. The jury will award thousands of dollars worth of prizes and awards (check out the prizes here http://campusmoviefest.com/prizes) and will be comprised of IU administration, faculty, students, and IU alumni. We are actively recruiting President McRobbie, Coach Tom Crean, David Anspaugh, Angelo Pizzo, Sue Naegle (HBO President), Michael Uslan (Batman producer) & Mark Cuban to serve on the jury.

Entertainment Internship Program
The Blooming Artists Agency is recruiting ten students to be apart of the inaugural class of its Entertainment Internship Program in Los Angeles. The goal of the program is to place ten highly talented students in the most competitive internships in the entertainment industry.
Once admitted to the program, the ten students will work with BAA Management to adapt their resume, cover letter, and interview skills necessary to gain an internship in the entertainment industry. Students will then select 2-3 internships from BAA's private internship list and phone interviews will be setup for the student with those companies. Students can intern in a diverse number of fields including film, television, fasion, PR, advertising, and music. Internships are available in a number of different departments including Finance, Marketing, Casting, Publicity, Digital Media, Legal, Production, Development, and Programming.
Once all ten students have secured internships for Summer 2009, BAA will assist the students with securing housing and transportation. BAA will also work with the Hollywood Hoosiers Alumni Association to organize a series of networking events throughout the summer so students can interact and meet IU alums currently working in the industry.
