In the Shadows of the Hills Documentary

This is a short documentary that I produced during my time at Western that highlights opiate use and abuse in Appalachian counties, specifically western North Carolina. I partnered with Full Circle Recovery Center in Franklin, NC to gain statistics of drug use in the region. The film also includes interviews with local drug abuse counselor Stephanie Almeida, who tells her own personal story with abuse, givers her take on opioid use in the region and tells what we can do as a community to prevent overdose deaths.

“Friday Night Rivals”

For this live broadcast of “Friday Night Rivals”, I was assigned to game camera. This game aired live on My40 and WLOS in the Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville-Anderson media market.

TLQ + 2 Promotional Video

I was hired by a local band in the Sylva, NC area to produce/create a promotional video. They now use the video on their website and social media accounts. I believe this short two and a half minute video displays some of my audio and video editing skills and shooting using a Canon 5D Mark III.

This two-minute long news package that I produced is on the homecoming carnival that occurs on the campus of Western Carolina University each year.

I created this 60 second Public Service Announcement for Great Smokies Health Foundation in Sylva, NC. This was used on air for campus radio station, 95.3 WWCU. I was responsible for reaching out to a local nonprofit, working with them on writing a script, recording and editing using Adobe Audition.

Public Affairs Program

This is a Public Affairs Program I created for 95.3 WWCU. I interviewed Melanie Wilkinson from the Great Smokies Health Foundation in Sylva, NC and got information on their upcoming plans, involvement with the university, common misconceptions, and more. I was responsible for recording our interview and editing using Adobe Audition.
