We thought that you might like to hear a little bit about an Intern of ours who eventually became our Production Assistant. Leila Tilghman is a graduate student at UCLA and is just about finished with her Masters Thesis. She started with “Gang of 7” over a year ago. Eager to learn the ropes, she volunteered full time, which is unusual for an intern. Usually we get a day or a half day of work a week from them.

Leila became an integral part of the team with her unbelievable computer skills and her tremendous work ethic, which is more professional than a lot of professionals. Last, but not least, she has the personality of a saint… always smiling, no job too difficult for her. She’s our right hand woman in Production and is invaluable.

She is proof in the “pudding” (or "cheese" when talking Biker Mice) that if you work hard at a studio, it is possible to move into a paying job. Our studio dogs, Loki and Snitchi, have fallen in love with her too and she’s become their official “Aunt”. They follow her around the studio and make their “Dad” Tom T. jealous. Dogs know a good thing when they see it. …and they wag those tails like a pencil to paper when Leila walks through the door.

She designed this web site that you are currently logged onto entirely on her own, and loves to draw caricatures of people who are so easy to affectionately make fun of. As in every healthy studio, the more practical jokes around a place, the more fun a work environment becomes. We hope to have Leila around for a long time as she has very much become part of G7’s family.

Soooooo… Hats of to Leila! You make work and our lives that much richer.

Leila taking a Happy Break!
