Student spotlight: Alex Bordelon at the Minnesota Museum of American Art

A summer series of six internship films, and a museum I had somehow never visited.

Over the summer I produced six short films about student internships for Macalester College. One of the highlights was Alex Bordelon's internship at the Minnesota Museum of American Art in downtown St. Paul, a museum I am a little embarrassed to say I had never been inside.

The artwork is beautiful and the staff were generous with access, which is what makes a three-minute internship film feel like more than a testimonial. I am planning to go back with my kids.

Series work like this is efficient for a college: one shooter, one consistent look, six stories in a summer. More films from the series will show up here as they are released.
