Well, "Nathan"------------
I hope you're getting PAID for this "internship."
Is your supervising faculty member at FSU aware of how you are using the
university's name in connection with this ad campaign?

> Dear Professor,
>
> My name is Nathan. I am a student who is enrolled in the
> Torchlight Program at Florida State University's Film School, and
> am interning with a motion picture marketing company that is
> representing the national DVD release for the feature film
> “Tokyo!” for its distributor, Liberation Entertainment. Tokyo!
> is currently in release in theaters throughout the United States and
> receiving audience and critical success.
>
> This film is a unique project in which three different directors –
> Michel Gondry (Oscar winner, story for ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE
> SPOTLESS MIND), Leos Carax and Bong Joon-Ho – offer their unique
> interpretations of life in the world's most populous metropolitan
> area. I believe you will find that this film offers some interesting
> connections to your field of study and might want to possibly point
> this out to your students and colleagues.
>
> I thought the highly anticipated film might specifically interest
> you because of your love of film as a scholar and instructor. From
> the thematic integration of each segment to the beautifully stylized
> cinematography, each of the three directors offers a unique, inspired
> and commanding look at the subject through their respective lens.
> “Tokyo!” may very well become a contemporary classic in the art
> of filmmaking. It was an official selection at the Cannes Film
> Festival section “Un Certain Regard”.
>
> The following is a brief synopsis, which you are welcome to cut and
> paste to use in describing the film to others:
>
> “Do people shape the city they live in or does the city shape its
> citizens? In TOKYO!, three visionary directors explore this concept
> through the prism of the titular city, a constantly-evolving,
> densely-populated megalopolis. Each director tells a different
> story, delving into their distinctive, personalized takes on this
> concept. Michel Gondry’s INTERIOR DESIGN focuses on a young woman
> who undergoes of a bizarre transformation while trying to maintain
> her relationship with an aspiring filmmaker. Leos Carax’s MERDE
> tells the tale of a mysterious creature that terrorizes Tokyo until
> his capture and trial allows him to reveal the reasons behind his
> campaign of mayhem. Bong Joon-Ho’s SHAKING TOKYO is the story of a
> hermit who is forced to fight his fear of the outside world when an
> earthquake brings a mysterious woman into his home – and his heart.
> Rhapsody, psychogeography, urban valentine, freak show, mindwalk:,
> TOKYO! is all these things and more. It will make you see one of the
> world’s greatest cities — and the idea of the city itself —
> with a fresh and compelling point of view.”
>
> The film “Tokyo!” hit theaters in early March to critical and
> audience acclaim. Now, Tokyo!, the surrealistic look at urban life,
> is available on DVD and Blu-ray beginning June 30th.
>
> We believe it is a fine film that deserves the widest possible
> audience. It would be of great help to us if you could please let
> your students know about this DVD release or just forward this email
> to them so they may consider renting or purchasing this film.
>
> Thank you so much for your help in bringing this film’s
> availability to the attention of your students, colleagues, and
> peers.
> Sincerely,
>
> Nathan
