    This emmy-nominated documentary is the firsthand account of some of Atlanta's broadcast pioneers, who recount the dangers and difficulties they faced early on in their careers.

     

    They also share their triumphs and gratitude as the film unveils their fight alongside the FCC to force local TV and radio stations to hire more black talent in front of and behind the camera.

    Rough Cut

    Teaching the ins and outs of the business by showing traditional and alternative approaches to media production

    I am a dedicated mentor, who likes volunteering my time and contributing talent toward working with students and interns to demonstrate production methods, research and story development to increase their interest and passion for media production.
