Julian Addy: Interning at industry giant HBO, has truly been a blessing. Besides being surrounded by some of the most creative people that I’ve ever meet, I have gained a myriad of invaluable information.

The smell of developer and fix mixed together like a diluted version of smelling salts and honey. Each step in the process of making a black and…
