UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER - THE LIGHT SHINES ON

If you're into Boulder, bison, Tuscan-vernacular, space people, hail marys, South Park, Nobel Prizes, think that Hitler probably wouldn't be a very good fishin' buddy, and might have thirty-one minutes to spare, it's gotten good reviews. And was nominated for a regional Emmy.
I was the main writer, strung together the narrative and guided the edit.
And if you don't have half an hour, the shorter trailer is below.

IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY - SIX DEGREES OF INNOVATION

This was a fun and challenging project that had a lot of stakeholders – admissions, the Innovate at Iowa State program, donors, and businesses – each with their own set of priorities.

We managed to align them as well as feature the very impressive, newly finished $84 million Student Innovation Center, which was built partially thanks to an anonymous donation that had one condition – it had to function as a resource for all students, regardless of college or major. Which is an innovation in itself.

A case of 1 + 1 = 3. Or a great setting + students collaborating = Six Degrees of Innovation
