CURRICULAR INTERNSHIP IN SUBTITLING (January 2019 - March 2020) Created subtitles from English to Italian for the films "Michael Inside" and "The Dig". Both films were presented at the Irish Film Festa 2019. I worked in a team in a high pressure environment where deadlines were constantly approaching and accuracy was as close as 100%. Furthermore, during this period I produced subtitles for several others short films (“Mechanic”, “Joseph Reel”, “Take the shot”, etc…) which are going to be presented in the future editions of the festival. In order to do this work I had to learn how to use the software “Subtitle Edit”.
