Months into a freelance ad gig in NYC, I got an email from Fallon asking
if I’d be interested in living in Minneapolis in the dead of winter for its first-ever winternship.
Housing, transportation, stipend and parka were included. It would start in about two weeks.
I’d never been to Minnesota or knew anyone within a reasonable distance.
I wondered why I'd ever leave a steady gig for a temporary one,
only to come back to uncertainty in NYC.
“Free parka?” I wrote back. “I’m in.”

On our last day, we hosted a movie night, er, afternoon, for the agency
as a thank you and really just to brag about our winternship in video form.
Taking a line from an email from Jeff Kling that ended with: "Be the ones. Do the things"
we oh so humbly titled our movie "The Ones Who Did the Things."

We snuck into everyone's offices and desks after-hours
(at like, 4 a.m.) and left them ticket stubs. We hung posters.

Each one told a six-word story of
how we got there and where we were
headed next.
