"I think the AIC is a fantastic opportunity for people who aren't quite sure how to break into their respective industries. This is especially true for people like me, who feel the best place to gain experience is nowhere close to home. In terms of placement, housing, and my visa, I couldn't have asked for more." - Emily G., Olive Tree TV
