Catholic Chicago Video Essays
In 2008 I conceived the idea of creating a series of online video essays for the Catholic Chicago exhibition at the Chicago History Museum. To create the videos, I worked closely with curator Jill Grannan, educator Marie Scatena, and multimedia editor Maureen McManus. We developed three themes and storylines. “Growing Up Catholic” is my favorite of the three. My roles working on the video series were content strategy, story and sound editor, project manager, and creative lead.
