**One thing worth knowing about the community: it's yours whether or not you end up interning with us. Even if interning isn't the right fit down the line, you'll have a space to get free support from professional filmmakers on whatever projects you're working on, plus connect with other filmmakers and editors along the way.
Stay tuned for next steps and in the meantime, feel free to dive into our Open Hours live Q&A sessions with industry professionals that you can access right inside the community. ~Menefese Founder & CEO
