Documentary, "University Buzz"

During my third year at Michigan State University, I completed by documentary production minor by taking DS 411 A/B: Advanced Documentary Filmmaking.

In this course, I directed, co-edited, and acted as director of photography for the documentary University Buzz. This documentary is an exploration into drinking culture on college campuses. It asks, in what ways is drinking part of college life? How prominent is it? Why or why don't college students partake? How does it effect themselves and those around them?
