It is summer time at Cortina Productions, which means intern season is in full swing.

Please say “hello” to some of Cortina Productions’ 2016 interns.
Alex Amorati – Production
Travis Kevin Barriteau – Production
Travis Kevin Barriteau is a native of Washington, D.C. For as long as he can remember, watching movies has always been a magical experience. Over his career he plans to direct and produce stunning, magnificent films like the ones he experienced growing up. With his final semester at Morehouse College fast approaching, he was looking for a creative, hands-on environment that offered both industry experience and mentorship. When researching summer internships, Travis came across Cortina Productions’ past projects. He immediately knew it would be the right place for him. Once he has graduated from Morehouse, Travis plans to pursue a masters degree in digital film production.

At the end of his second year at the Art Institute, Alain began his internship at Cortina with the goal to learn what it means to be a unity developer in a multimedia industry. He also wanted to be a part of the cool projects Cortina works on. Hoping to eventually find his way into the video game industry, Alain desires to learn to create special experiences that everyone can enjoy.
