A Closer look: Student internships

Artist Statement
"A Closer look: Student internships" is an essay documentary that explores the challenges students face with internships and their prospects, focusing specifically on the Digital Media and Design (DMD) department at the University of Connecticut. The project follows the narrator’s journey, reflecting on how future students can improve their opportunities—ideally more than the narrator experienced.
The narrator, voiced by Pablo Jose Gonzalez Miranda, draws from his own experiences with internships and the anxiety of facing the unknown. Pablo's personal story of arriving in the U.S. at fourteen, without a supportive figure to guide him through new environments like high school, college, and internships, informs the emotional core of the documentary. He understands firsthand the stress of navigating these transitions with no clear path or guidance.
This project reflects Pablo’s love for film, where personal life experiences can be transformed into creative expression, offering both catharsis and insight for others facing similar uncertainties.
