Students in Daytona State College’s TV Production certificate program have developed a live interactive program featuring local millennials passionately pursuing their aspirations and showcasing their talents.
The first show in the series aired Feb. 11and it continues weekly on Thursday nights throughout the semester.
“The concept is to feature millennials who have achieved success in some way,” explains Associate Professor Anita Bevins.
In addition to appearing on a show, live, each guest will be highlighted in segments throughout the production, practicing their craft, business and talent. The topic for the inaugural show was “The Spoken Word,” featuring guests poet Alethia Dupree, novelist Allen Minor and spoken word artist Shayna “Simba” Castano.
Eight students in their third semester are producing the live show, taking responsibility for securing talent and staffing key positions on the production crew. Five students in the first-semester class will run cameras and assist in other duties.
The Television Studio Production program is a college-credit certificate featuring hands-on TV production. Students learn video production skills in the college’s public television station, WDSC TV-15, during a succession of three courses.
