In 2018, I was hired by the University of Nebraska - Lincoln’s Sociology department to produce a documentary for their program - Husker DNA Journey - The goal of this was to document a diversity of students, as they all take a DNA test and spend time learning about each other’s cultures. Once the results come in, the students learn about how generically diverse they all are.
My role involved capturing the entire process, from the initial test, the activities and discussions in-between, and capturing the students reactions when they learn of their results. I combed through hours and took care the splice together a story that captured the heart of the story behind the documentary.
