You know, I've been an intern a few times in my life. I did things like fetch water for snooty publishing executives and once had to drive around town distributing promotional postcards for the movie Seasbiscuit (please, don't ask...).

One thing I sure as hell didn't get to do was curate a series of short films in the movie capital of the world. Such is the case for the lovely interns at Visual Communications who have selected a series of short films -- entitled "V for Vuvuzela!" -- to be screened at the David Henry Hwang Theatre in Los Angeles' Little Toyko as part of their Intern Screening Program.

Started in 2003, the program that began "as a means of sharing with the public their enthusiasm for the ongoing achievements of Asian Pacific Artists cinema artists -- has grown since its inception into a highly anticipated annual summertime event that draws fans of Asian Pacific American cinema both young and old." The series will feature films from this past year's LA Asian Pacific Film Festival as well as new works by local filmmakers. Proceeds will go toward youth programs and developing emerging talent.

Must...fight...hating...these...interns...

Okay, jealousy is in check.
