In addition to his work in traditional film and TV, Rothe-Kushel has been a pioneer of new media since its inception. He was among the first in the field to monetize Internet-based viral content, and he has successfully developed, produced and deployed online content for local and federal government as well small businesses as well as Fortune 500 Companies like Nestlé.

In 2009, in addition to being selected as one of 30 of the most influential thought leaders under 30, Rothe-Kushel supervised the Los Angeles production of the top of the broadcast for the 81st Annual Academy Awards. In 2011, he produced "Golden Gods" for MTV & VH1, produced a stereoscopic 3D project, and produced four up-coming feature films, including Dream In American Rock & Roll: the Movie, and The Secret Lives of Dorks, starring James Belushi & Jennifer Tilly.  His up-coming movies The Courier and The Ganzfeld Experiment feature Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler, Iron Man 2), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen), Dominic Purcell (Hijacked), and Billy Zane (Titanic, Back to the Future).

Funny Business - 25 Places Comedians Have Interned

Dream of taking Conan O'Brian's place on Late Night TV or joining SNL? Have a knack for tickling your friends' funny bones, but confused as to where to use those skills during your leave-term? Check out this piece on 25 places where leading comedians interned (courtesy of  Huffington Post) . Take a look at the type of internships your favorite funny people -- including Dartmouth alum Mindy Kaling --  used to break into the biz. Although some may seem fitting, you may be surprised by the types of internships these stars chose in order to start their venture into the entertainment industry.

As you embark on your own internship search, don't rule out opportunities that don't appear to be a direct path from internship to career. As demonstrated by these comedy stars, it isn't always the internship itself that leads you to your dream job, but rather the experiences and connections you gain along the way.

In addition to internship listings on Dartboard, you may want to start your search by scouting out potential alums to talk to. Check out Dartmouth Alumni in Entertainment and Media (DAEMA), a great network of alumni who can help you get connected.

Below is an email received by the Career Services Office at Dartmouth College; If you're free on July 12, 2012 & close to Concord, NH, sounds like a great way to get some experience...not to mention your name in the credits.

"We are offering radio-TV-film and communications students the opportunity to work on a documentary film that is being produced this summer in every state capital and several other locations in some states.  If students would like to work on the film crew, we would be delighted to have them.  They will not be paid, but they will receive experience and will be listed in the closing credits.

This film project is unique in many ways.  The movie is being filmed in all 50 states and DC in a 143-day road trip covering 16,508 miles (surely a first).  Over 750 people will be filmed, and the project will produce one documentary film, and over 750 videos, including testimony for every state legislature and the U.S. House and Senate.

If you have students who would like to participate, please have them email their resume to Crew@WhistleblowerProductions.com, and indicate which day(s) they will be available.
