SMOVID-19: Pandemic on the Pigeon River
SMOVID-19: Pandemic on the Pigeon River is a documentary mini series about raft guides who worked for Smoky Mountain Outdoors (SMO) in rural Tennessee during the summer of 2020. Part I: Pandemic on the Pigeon River details the events surrounding the COVID outbreak among guides on SMO's outpost. Parts II & III are unlisted and can be sent upon request. This project was conceptualized, filmed, and edited by me.
The Art of Adolescence
The Art of Adolescence is a piece detailing the talents of Shannon Renner, 17, with an emphasis on her interest in up cycling clothing and accessories. This was created for a multimedia storytelling class through the journalism department at UC; the assignment prompted a 2-4 minute film portraying "the story of a process." Filming my little sister presented the pro of honest, laid back footage and the con of a few giggles I was unable to suppress.
Reduce, Reuse, Rethink
Reduce, Reuse, Rethink details the reality of mainstream recycling in Cincinnati, Ohio through Rumpke's Material Recovery Center, one of the largest MRFs in the Midwest. This was produced as a final project in multimedia fundamentals where we were encouraged to tell the story of a local organization. Though RUMPKE is a business, I've always been intrigued and skeptical of the recycling process, thus, used this project as an opportunity to educate myself and others.
COLLEGE DURING COVID-19
College During COVID-19 details student tips and tricks for studying during university shutdowns due to the pandemic. This video features predominately UC students, self filmed and submitted for editing. Editors include myself and Alex Martin—we created this video for an electronic media class through CCM and it was later published on UC's News Record website.

Intermedio, On Touching
Vhils, Haze: Exhibition Promo at the CAC is a video I filmed and cut for the Contemporary Art Center's social media. The goal was to give a behind the scenes glance at the birth of one of Vhils' pieces in which the team uses explosives to engrave a wall. It was incredible witnessing a world renowned artist's exhibition through the process of creation.

NIC Kay, PUSHIT! is much like the above video in that it is an edit I created during my internship for the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center during the spring of 2020. Though the footage was captured by my mentor, Asa Featherstone, during the 2019 This Time Tomorrow Festival, I was trusted with the role of the video editor, asked to cut an hour of performing arts footage into a clip under 2 minutes. I had a blast vicariously experiencing this performance and cutting this video together to be featured on the CAC's website and YouTube channel.
