Why I’m Not Here For Unpaid Internships

interns-wantedSummer movie news is usually dominated by talk of the latest blockbuster or trailer for the next great Oscar contender, but just this past week news broke that could have profound impact on more than just films. Via The New York Times, a judge has ruled in favor of the two unpaid Black Swan interns who sued Fox Searchlight for compensation. I’ve seen many opinions regarding the case over these here interwebs ranging from those who think this is a good thing to those who bemoan the case. Therefore, it is only fitting that I throw my hat in the ring.
