When I edited this piece, Glasper’s “Black Radio” was the number one selling jazz album on itunes. The opening typography was given to me from irockjazz to use so my edit would match the rest of the pieces that are on their site.

STAND BY ME

This is a documentary that I made while attending Columbia College Chicago. I worked witha group of fellow filmmakers to create this documentary. For this film, I was the editor and I was in charge of all of the Post-Production elements related to the film. I edited this film in Final Cut Pro and the name keys were created in Apple's Motion. This film was nominated by other students and facility at Columbia College Chicago to compete in the Take 1 Film Festival that the school offers every year for the best student films.

Plot
Stand By Me is a response to Indiana's anti-immigration State Bill 590. Gary Juarez and Felix Maldonado Jr. of East Chicago have setup a gallery in protest of SB590. They open their doors to members of the community to come in and view the art that demonstrates the negative aspects of this controversial bill. Tony Barreda & Olga Briseno are members of the Community Coalition for Immigrants and they also narrate the negative aspects of this bill. The community is also holding a march in order to draw attention to the amount of people that will be affected if it passes.
