Introducing The New Magnify.net Interns

November 04, 2009 - Billy Linker

We have an impressive new group of interns at Magnify and now that they have gone through the hazing period, we wanted to take a moment out to give them proper introductions. As usaul, we let them write out a couple words about where they came from, what they've been doing and well, anything else they wanted to tell the Magnify community....

Hi everyone, I'm Lewis Rapkin. Upon graduating the University of Vermont, I left the heady organic mountains of groovy UV and headed to the neon-saturated mega-metropolis of Tokyo to shoot a documentary on the underground music scene. Next stop was New York City where I continued with documentary productions. On top of helping out at Magnify, I also work the night shift at a documentary production company assisting PBS television series and HBO documentaries.

I don't have cable TV in my apartment, but I do have the Internet and the potential for online video seems pretty clear. Without being longwinded about my optimism towards the future, I’ll just say that it’s an exciting time to be involved in online video and that’s why I’m excited to be at Magnify.

I also play in a zany band called Enban that performs with projected video on a troupe of performance artists dancing in white jumpsuits.

 

Hello! My name is Rachel Cantor. I'm a recent graduate of Sarah Lawrence College where I studied way too many things (film, photography, art history, economics, literature, etc; ie everything and nothing, ie liberal arts)

I am an aspiring internet video aficionado, bubble tea connoisseur, and All Of The Above. I have a quasi-burgeoning Magnify channel you should check out called The Geocities Fan Club
My free time is spent making video art, watching tv shows of The Real Housewives of Atlanta caliber, and coming up with strange uses for Twitter.
