Environment/Initial Impressions

My first week at LBI Entertainment has been great. I was a little nervous at first because entering a new and unfamiliar environment can often be intimidating, but my boss has done a great job at integrating the interns with ease. My office environment is casual for the most part, which has definitely helped my transition. Everyone is hard at work, yet still finds time to joke around, and interact with one another. The dress code is what my boss likes to call "casual friday night" or "date night," though the latter has not been that helpful of a reference since most of the interns don't really go on dates. The interns I work with are female, but the majority of interns are male. My office is also mostly comprised of men, but that reflects the fact that there are more men in the entertainment industry than woman, especially in film/tv production. So far, my boss, and the other higher ups, actually want to hear our opinions on scripts and ideas. Another intern and I were given a television pilot script to read and comment on, and were then told to come up with a cast list. I really like they want our input, and want to know who we would cast as specific characters.
