Recently reported by ABC Action News, Elijah Rutland, creator of the viral black Rolf meme, earned an internship with Warner Bros. The internship gives Rutland the opportunity to work on the upcoming Netflix children’s show.
Rutland, a junior at Florida A&M University, will be working on the Netflix’s “Green Eggs And Ham” based on the popular Dr. Seuss book. The show is scheduled to premiere this fall.
Despite being a very talented artist, Rutland said he almost didn’t apply for the internship because he felt unqualified. With his success, he wants to inspire other students and offers this bit of advice
“Be confident and to apply, apply, and keep applying and don’t count yourself out.”
Congratulations Mr. Rutland.
