opportunity to allow our interns to visit the set of Columbia
Pictures’ Bad Boys 2. This was their first time
visiting a set of this magnitude. As the cameras began rolling,
aspiring film director, Intern Alastair Hunt whispers,
“This is the best day of my life.” As a result, Alastair
has decided to continue his education in Palm Beach County.
