I just finished a 6-month internship with the Deseret News and I have some freelance work lined up. I’m just entering the job market and am looking to continue my growth and development as a video storyteller. Creating nonfiction films as a journalist is my love and passion. While at RIT I made a number of documentaries, two of which were recognized by CPOY 76 & 77. I currently have five films on my site, www.benbbraun.com
I started making films during my gap year, focusing on a cinema Verde style. My first film was about a group of World War Two veterans who have been meeting once a week for over 30 years. 3-years later I revisited them and continued this work in college.
I don’t want to stay a freelancer forever and I am happy to share I have been landing interviews as well during my rookie year. I want to be in a multi-media role and be a more competitive candidate, this scholarship would help me achieve this and better my skills. I just graduated college and finished a 6-month internship that paid 14 an hour, I am extremely grateful for this opportunity. I am a stronger storyteller because of this experience but I still don’t have my legs under me financially. I have faith in doing your best and the rest will fall into place. I hope to keep getting better to make more impactful work and the rest will fall into place.
