First post but whatever.
I was one of the film interns at Windells and I was waiting to get out to Mt. Hood to start filming since just about last september. Since then, all of my future summer plans were arranged around the job.
The day I get out to Oregon, I get a call saying Tim Windell cancelled the program.
Anyways, Im just writing to let all of you know what all the interns have been doing since then, since some of you were wondering.
We decided to try to keep the house we were staying in for as long as possible. I for one didnt have enough money to stay out there and pay rent, so I stayed out there for a week and a half and rode a little, and just chilled and had some fun. Now im back home in Shitty CT wondering how in the world my summer got so fucked up. My buddy and fellow intern Dan, ended up leaving a few days before me, because he too could not afford to stay out there any longer without camp paying rent for us.
Two Interns, Blair and Jake, got rehired by the new Main filmer Tyler Malay (tylermalay.com). I'm guessing they got picked solely because they previously new Tyler, or something like that. The two other interns, Benji and Brendon are staying out there for the summer on their own money just to ride and have a good time. They are staying with the two interns who got rehired, by the way they still have to pay their rent, even though they are working for windells. Eric, whom all of you know by now, had to leave and is currently working on a future project. Thats bassically it.
Anyways you guys can check my website: www.skylarbrent.com
and Benji and Brendon's website: www.dudeguyfilms.com for some video and other stuff about some of the things that went down during this whole mess.

Out of the 6 guys i had come out here, 2 of them are still filming for camp. -but for NO $. Tim ended up hiring two (separate) other people, who used to be my interns, (and who last year came out as private contractors themselves....)
So after i was gone, The two new video guys/gals, got 2 of my current kids to just film and edit for NO $ and no housing. They are living at my old place and paying rent. Tim offered one of my top guys a place to stay, crammed in with other campers, but it wasnt worth it.
Two other interns left, and the last two guys are kicking it at my old place, paying rent, and riding when they feel like!
So to sum it up, only two of my interns/sess. video guys are still filming for windells, but no one is getting any money, only two of them getting riding and eating privalages. Which works out in it's own way tho too......
