Black Swan interns sue studio – The Guardian A news story recently caught my attention, yet again casting the spotlight on the issue of unpaid internships.
Attorneys for Fox Searchlight have argued that an independent company, Lake of Tears Inc., not the studio, hired and managed the "Black Swan" interns.
A former agent of mine used to send me in for a lot of different ethnicities, but sometimes I just would be absolutely wrong for a role, like the time I auditioned to play the role of a black hospital intern who became addicted to speed because he was trying to stay ahead of everybody who thought he wouldn't make a good doctor because he was black.
Eric Glatt and Alexander Footman, production interns on "Black Swan," sued Fox Searchlight in September 2011.
Last September, the law firm filed a lawsuit against Fox Searchlight Pictures, asserting that it violated wage laws by using unpaid interns on "Black Swan" and other films.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, claims that Fox Searchlight Pictures, the producer of "Black Swan," had the interns do menial work that should have been done by paid employees and did not provide them with the type of educational experience that labor rules require in order to exempt employers from paying interns.
Two men who interned on the movie "Black Swan" and one former intern at Harper's Bazaar filed lawsuits in recent months alleging that their arrangements violated wage laws, and in December, Schneider & Rubin, a law firm that specializes in representing interns, opened its doors.
The other named plaintiff, Eric Glatt, 42, who has an M.B.A. from Case Western Reserve University, was an accounting intern for "Black Swan".
