Boston University Broadcast Journalism majors Karlyn Smith and Ryan McCune invited me to participate in their final exam project one cold day just this last October. It was a pleasure meeting these two gentlemen. I was impressed by their professionalism and they won me over immediately when they brought me a large hot chocolate for the shoot. <\/p>\n
According to their project rules, the story they wanted to tell could not be narrated by them, but had to be entirely told through live interviews and photographic evidence. <\/p>\n
The story they chose was the trademark lawsuit filed by the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast\/Museum in Fall River against The True Story of Lizzie Borden, Gift Shop and Museum in Salem, MA. All the parties involved agreed to be interviewed, which was a huge coup for Karlyn and Ryan.<\/p>\n
The first of the two projects has been completed (they assisted each other, but submitted individual works for their grades) and it was posted today on Vimeo.com<\/a>. Karlyn has granted me permission to embed the video here for you to see.<\/p>\n I invite you to sit back, relax, and enjoy these two excellent filmmaker\/journalists do their thing.<\/p>\n Starring Lee-Ann Wilber, Leonard Pickel, and me, Stefani Koorey. <\/p>\n
