A Day in the Life of Our Students

   Congrats to Radio Connection student Robert Gilmore (Doylestown, PA) on getting hired at a Pennsylvania radio station. He’s on-air and getting paid for it. We’ll have more on this in an upcoming issue. Upon starting Radio Connection, Robert wrote in his blog: “I am very excited to begin this new chapter in my life, and I see this as a spectacular opportunity that I am ready to make the most of. The road to the top of the sports radio industry begins now!”    Film Connection student Jason Reinhardt (Atlanta, GA) had the supreme privilege of PA’ing on Black Panther—the very same movie that’s taking the world by storm—now!   Speaking of his experience, Jason says, “Well I PA’d for about a week on Black Panther. They were doing re-shoots down in rural Georgia. I was hired on as a catering P.A… [But] catering wasn’t my only job. My first day I ended up being assigned to lockup on a dirt road, which was about as fun as starring at a dirt road for 8 hours (but hey I was on a Marvel shoot)…When I wasn’t doing that I was a set PA and a busy one. Each day I clocked around 15 miles on foot. I met actors, doubles and stunt [pros]…The specific scenes we shot over my time there involved a lot of extras, who had to do a lot of running…I got on good terms with the main villain when he needed cough drops and I was there with a handful. I actually met large majority of the cast including…all of the warriors who protect the king (they wear red uniforms), the main villain, Black Panther [Chadwick Boseman] himself, all of the stunt doubles and all of the stand-ins…Overall, the days where a blast. I learned a lot, met a lot of amazing people and got to work on my first large scale set!”
