Video Production and Entrepreneurship

Knoxville, TN

My College Scholars program is designed to prepare me to operate my own production company in addition to learning the “art” of creating film. Throughout my “Video production and Entrepreneurship” program, I plan to pursue studies that will help me become a skilled artisan in producing videos, telling stories, marketing businesses, branding professionals, and managing a production crew. Entrepreneur and businesses courses focusing on start-ups, HR management, project management, and financial management will also be taken to help me operate a successful media company after graduation.

Cinema Studies, Entrepreneurism, Business, Advertising, Four-Dimensional Arts, English

Start a media production company that focuses on creating content for businesses and individuals to increase traffic to their website and social media platforms. Because I love the academic environment, I will continue my education and obtain an M.F.A. degree with the goal to obtain a teaching position at a college or university.
