Intern Spotlight: Kendal Ford


Kendal Ford Hello! My name is Kendal Ford. I am going into my senior year at McDaniel College. I am a Communication major and interested in all things related to communication, media, and production. I have always been fascinated by the power and influence of television and films. Since entering college it has become even more aware to me that this is the way I want to make my mark on the world. This internship is not only a wonderful opportunity, but a great way for me to learn, network, and prepare for my career.

In the future, my dream is to be writing, directing and producing my own films. I feel like all of my life I have had story plots and ideas floating around in my head, just waiting to leak out of my fingertips, on to script, and then "coming soon to a theater near you".

I am EXTREMELY excited to see what this summer has in store for me at the Community Media Center.
