It was two good things coming together. I was looking for internships for a while. Then I saw the film and tv internship offered by Bridging Gaps. I’ve also watched many videos about Cape Town and it looked very beautiful. It seemed like a really good place to go.
Just one with a bit of range- I’ve done similar things before so I was looking for something familiar but new to put on my CV.
Pretty similar actually. I never expected that I would have as much responsibility as I was actually given!
Yes, I worked with a few different people, and they were very helpful.
Yes definitely!
Yes I think the skills I have learned I will definitely be able to apply to TV companies back home, which is great!
Yes and the fact that it was an international internship looks very good on my CV. It will have a big impact in my future.
I was worried that I might have not enjoy it, and be stuck here for a long time.
I’m happy I came and I’m Happy I decided to stay as long as I did, instead of doing a shorter internship.
I really like Cape Town. Its probably the best place I’ve been to!
Definitely!
The search was very easy. Lucie was also very quick to respond to my emails.
It was good yes. You were always there when we needed to communicate.
The support aspect. We see you very regularly, and you are always checking up on us to make sure we are doing alright.

I’d recommend that interns use the taxis waiting down town. They are much cheaper than Ubers…
I thought it was expensive when you include accommodation and flights, but just the Bridging Gaps fees, I don’t think are too bad.
I thought the package was just fine for me. I wouldn’t have needed a different one.
I say if they can afford it then definitely do it!
