Interns Wanted: Web Developer/Graphic Designer Dec 22nd, 2009
WSO is currently looking for a Web Developer/Graphic Designer. Do you know any talented students looking for experience in a non-profit organization setting?
WSO is planning to relaunch our brand, including our logo and online presence, later this year. We are looking for creative interns to assist in this major overhaul. It will involve a significant redesign of our entire website, both in its design and organization of information. We will also be incorporating our new brand into our brochures, Keynote presentations, and curriculum materials.
We envision this to be a perfect opportunity for an ambitious student or recent grad that wants to be a part of a new and refreshing non-profit organization as we seek to introduce ourselves to Hollywood film industry professionals in the fall of 2010.
The candidate we are looking for should have knowledge of the following: CSS, HTML, JavaScript, Dreamweaver, WordPress, Keynote, and Adobe Creative Suite programs, not to mention a strong sense of design, style, and layout.
This will be an unpaid internship in Los Angeles, CA, in the summer of 2010. For more information, please email us a resume and links to any sample work here:
WSO goes to the American Film Institute! Aug 1st, 2009
Our director, Justin Edwards, has begun attending the American Film Institute in Hollywood, CA. WSO has much to gain from AFI’s connectivity with the film industry, as well as the curriculum and rigorous training experience from which to incorporate into WSO’s own development.
Justin Edwards, Director of WSO, presents a donation to the Kenya Film Commission.
WSO is proud to be a part of the first-ever Kalasha Film & Television Awards, Kenya’s version of the Oscars. The Awards will take place in May of 2009. Our donation will go towards making the event night happen, as well as sponsor individual awards going to future filmmakers of Kenya.
WSO has had a busy February, with a lot of work cut out for us this season!
We are currently hard at work in preparing course descriptions for Daystar University’s pending 4-year degree program in Film Production. Please feel free to peruse the proposal we prepared for them with the PDF link above.
We are also ironing out the details for our first production workshops, which will take place in Nairobi in April. We are partnering with Hot Sun Foundation to provide these workshops to new filmmakers from Kibera, Kenya’s largest slum.
Lastly, the first-ever Kenya Film & Television Awards are at the end of March, and we are in discussions with the Kenya Film Commission to play a part. What this entails remains to be seen, but we have offered our services, creative and otherwise, to be a part of this special night.
