seeking advice internship/apprenticeship filmmaking/marine data collection

[Soakedlontra]

I am wondering if there is anybody out here who could give me some advice on how to apply for an internship/apprenticeship in underwater filmmaking or marine data collection.

I have been taking photographs; edit videos and writing articles for three years. I won some photographic competitions and several of my articles have been published in the US and Italy. I have been submitting surveys about marine life in the Pacific Northwest to REEF regularly.

I would like to get more experience working for film crews/marine biologists. I am bilingual, hard worker, reliable and willing to relocated.

There are hundred of ways. Are you on a budget? Relocation may be a start. You need to sell yourself...to the market out there.

Keep me posted.

Who are the biologists, photographers and filmmakers that you admire most? If you could write your own ticket what would you like to do? With whom?

The first names to pop out of my head are, of course, Jean-Michel Cousteau and David Attenborough. Ultimately itis not a particular name that matters to me most but the personality. I guess I am looking for somebody who has passion for what hi/she is doing and is willing to share it with other people. I know superficially local videographers who do good work but, how can I put it?, they keep themselves to themselves.
