Available to hire
Hi, I’m Dylan J. Skeen, a Mass Media: Media Arts graduate with a sequence in TV Production. I love bringing live broadcasts to life, whether I’m operating cameras, directing audio, or coordinating intermission reports.
Over the past few years I’ve interned with TV stations and production companies, covered live sports for ESPN+, contributed to news production at TV-10 News and WZND, and even coached at the Chicago Blackhawks summer camps. I thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy collaborating with talent, and am eager to tell engaging stories on screen and in the arena.
