1. To#Whom#It#May#Concern:#
I#am#writing#this#letter#in#support#of#Jake#Churcher’s#application#for#internship#at#your#company.##I#met#
Mr.#Churcher#in#the#fall#of#2014.##He#was#enrolled#in#my#Cinematography#class#at#Champlain#College.##In#
this#brief#time,#he#established#himself#as#one#of#my#best#students.###
#
There#were#several#things#that#impressed#me.##He#always#came#to#class#prepared#and#enthusiastically#
participated# in# discussions.# # His# responses# to# questions# were# always# insightful# and# showed#
understanding#of#the#readings#and#the#major#concepts#driving#the#class.##On#the#flipside,#his#questions#
were#always#penetrating#and#revealed#his#inquisitive#nature.#
#
Jake#was#a#leader#in#the#class.##We#work#in#groups,#as#is#the#nature#of#filmmaking.##He#was#part#of#the#
leadership,# which# brought# me# questions# about# the# assignments,# sought# clarification# on# issues# and#
probed#out#the#type#of#final#product#I#sought.# He,#also,#demonstrated#a#command#of#the#material.#I#
credit#him#with#being#an#integral#part#of#the#leadership#group#that#made#that#happen.###
#
Perhaps,# most# importantly# from# my# perspective,# Jake# shows# a# passion# for# filmmaking.# # He# relishes#
learning#all#aspects#of#the#craft.#
#
He#received#an#“A”#in#the#class.#
#
His# work# has# really# been# outstanding.# # # He# completes# tasks# on# time,# shows# initiative,# and# is# very#
thorough.# # Not# only# this,# but# he# goes# out# of# his# way# to# gain# insight# into# the# topic# and# deepen# his#
understanding#of#the#art#and#craft#of#filmmaking.###
#
Jake#is#special#and#very#deserving#of#this#position.##He#comes#to#you#with#my#highest#recommendation.#
#
Sincerely,#
#
