Documentary film

What was the brief?

Explore the experiences of collegiate dancers and examine how dance intersects with Title IX, athletics, identity, and recognition within college sports. The goal was to tell these stories through an engaging digital experience that combined documentary storytelling with interactive media.

What did you make?

I produced and directed Titles & Trophies: The Dance Dilemma, a 20-minute documentary and interactive website. I interviewed 11 collegiate dancers, two assistant coaches, and a program supervisor, then developed the interviews, story structure, video content, and digital experience to bring their perspectives together.

What was the result?

The final project combined documentary film, interviews, and interactive storytelling into one cohesive digital experience that explored the challenges and experiences of collegiate dancers. It allowed me to take a project from research and story development through interviewing, production, editing, and final digital presentation.
