To whom it may concern:
I am writing to recommend Ian Todaro.
For more than a year, Ian has been a film/video intern for the Woodstock
Comedy Festival, a 501©3 non-profit organization located in Woodstock, New
York, that produces an annual comedy festival and donates all net profits to
charity.
Subtitled Comedy for a Cause, the festival donates to Polaris, for survivors of
human trafficking, and Family of Woodstock, for survivors of domestic violence.
Even among a group of experienced student interns, Ian stands out because of
his creativity, ingenuity, and ability to self-start. He has assisted senior festival
producers during fundraisers and our main event, the festival, with
cinematography, video production, and video editing. He was assistant producer
on the SUNY New Paltz screening of the documentary of “A Night at Whiplash” in
late 2014.
I am the author of five published books, an adjunct instructor of English at Marist
College, and the director of media relations at the festival. I am familiar with
students, and can easily say that Ian is one of the best, in terms of seriousness,
commitment, and hard work. He has been an invaluable member of the
Woodstock Comedy Festival team and I highly recommend him for future
endeavors.
Sincerely yours,
Sheila Isenberg
