ALYSSA HURLBUT
Affordable Housing, Norfolk, CT
Through my volunteer work with Partnership For Strong Communities (Hartford, CT), I created this short documentary featuring an affordable housing development in Norfolk, CT. The goal of the project is to illuminate the importance of housing diversity, especially in places where residential costs are displacing local workers and long-time community members. This six-month initiative allowed me to generate and pilot content ideas, interview residents, organizers, and city officials, and edit hours of footage into a short, compelling storyline.
Love Interpreted: A Marist Circle documentary
I co-produced and created content for the Marist Circle newspaper's latest documentary. The project explores the concept of love, sexuality, and relationships on a college campus.
Marist College Television: Inside the Circle
In collaboration with Marist College Television, I launched a biweekly TV segment which featured news reports and panel discussions related to current Marist Circle stories. I served as a content creator, anchor, and producer for the show.
Marist Circle: Town Hall Debate
In our efforts to expand into digital content, I regularly directed and produced short news clips for the Marist Circle. This is the segment we produced on Marist's town hall debate surrounding priority points.
Honors Thesis Final Project
I produced this research video as a compilation of my findings on the relationship between government and journalism during three key periods: the Vietnam War, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and the 2016 Presidential elections. Edited on Final Cut Pro.
FINAL VIDEO WITH COMPLETED, FILMED INTERVIEWS COMING SOON
Photojournalism Final Project
I filmed and produced this short video on Hudson Beach Glass, a shop in Beacon, New York, for my final photojournalism project. After exploring the town and stumbling upon the gallery--a popular local gem that spearheaded the art scene in this trendy town--I felt that the gallery would make for a wonderful feature story. I conducted interviews, gathered an abundance of b-roll and photographs, and edited the final project using Adobe Premiere.
