MEDIA MENTORSHIPS

Grit Media currently offers the disabled community the opportunity to reach beyond the parameters of its own imagination. For the next six months we are offering Mentored Placements in all types of creative media environments and for varying lengths of times. These placements can range from anywhere between four hours to up to a week depending on the individuals needs and the companies idiosyncrasies.

Organizations renowned for their cutting edge supremacy will now open their own doors of perception to allow anyone from the "allability" community to sample their cerebral smorgasbord of creatively inventive delights.

If you have ever desired to examine the realms of film, television, stills photography, print media, event management, video installation and beyond, or have ever wanted to see a director, producer or sound engineer (to name a few) at work, then please download an information/application form here.

The only stipulations for eligibility are that you are over eighteen, become a member of Grit Media (its free and without strings) and dare to dream big.

Grit Media Mentoring... be a part of it and be a part of history.

MENTORSHIPS SO FAR ...

The Mentored Placement Program has gotten off to a superb start this year with many organizations from the ABC to Digital Pictures offering their services to current and potential mentees (sounds like a type of confectionery).

People from GRIT MEDIA have been accepted into Digital Pictures to observe the special effects department at work, "Celluloid Soup" to sit in on a production and planning meeting at the Jewish Film Festival and 3CR to take part in the taping of the "Boldness". One mentee in Sydney has gone to observe the online department at SBS.

Many future placements are coming up for people with a broad range of interests within a number of diverse and influential organizations. All in all, a brilliant start and a taste of greater things to come. As Monica says...first we take Manhattan and then we take Berlin, or in this case, Melbourne and then the galaxy it is suspended in.

May the force be with us all.
