As both an undergraduate and graduate journalism student at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, I have focused on refugee and migration topics. I am trained and have a degree in Broadcast Journalism and have worked for 3 news stations, two in Arizona, one in Nebraska. I enjoy telling long-form, emotional stories that help my viewers connect with the subject. I have completed 3 documentaries in the past 3 years and film, edit, produce all on my own. My first documentary, Speak, followed two Somali refugee students through the public school experience in Arizona. My second and third documentaries were conducted in Arizona and Croatia, where I was an assistant producer for a State Department Embassy project. The story topics explored Syrian Refugees using the Balkan countries as a route to Europe. As I approach my graduate graduation in May of 2018, I am excited and interested to find news and media organizations that find a passion in the same stories I do.

Blake McCord is an award-winning filmmaker and DP passionate about capturing imagery that elevates story. Blake’s work has been honored at numerous film festivals. Most recently, the Banff Mountain Film Festival and Kendal Mountain Festival recognized They/Them as Best Climbing Film. As a DP, Blake sees his job as an opportunity to take an audience on a visual journey that elevates the larger storytelling effort. Reviewing Omen, a dance film where Blake served as DP, the New York Times highlighted the visual impact of the film: “Suspended over a cliff face, bouncing off its surface like astronauts on the moon, the dancers disturb a viewer’s sense of gravity…the grandeur calls for a theater-size screen.” Admittedly obsessive about details, Blake has a strong technical competency with both the equipment he uses and the logistics of each shoot. A climber and outdoor athlete, Blake is equally at home shooting from the side of a cliff or the bottom of the Grand Canyon as he is in a studio.
