01 — THE STORY

Where I learned to work at broadcast speed: filming, lighting, mic’ing and cutting university sports television on tight turnarounds.

With Awesome Films I produced collegiate sports TV for Pitt, Penn State, Rutgers, Seton Hall and Boston College, shooting and editing The Jeff Capel Show and The Pat Narduzzi Show for AT&T SportsNet, The Rutgers Basketball Story and Pitt Beyond The Script. I also traveled to dozens of campuses to make recruitment films: sit-down interviews, campus and classroom b-roll, and the selling points that make each school itself.
