I had the opportunity to travel to Argentina during the summer of 2023 to film a documentary about wheelchair users dancing tango and became extremely proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, as well as transcribing, to create a bilingual documentary with accurate subtitling.
This opportunity was made possible through my college's TREK program, which offers study abroad programs with Wooster professors that range anywhere from one week to one month during the summer.
TREK programs count for academic credit in their aligned discipline and offer unique opportunities for students to study abroad alongside professor mentors usually to complete a project or offer hands-on experiential learning. I was fortunate enough to be selected for the Documentary Filmmaking TREK, which only accepted six students and was a highly competitive program.
The documentary remains in post-production – with editing to be done and a score to be added. It is not currently available for public distribution as it will be submitted to film festivals globally.
