Today was the first day of filming for the personal finance advocacy documentary. A crew of three arrived at my home in the morning. Bob Jury was the director, Lee was the sound technician, and Chris was the videographer. I learned more about the project as a whole. I am representing the Southern region in the documentary, which will be used in schools and utilized to show legislators the importance of financial education, as the non-profit funding the documentary advocates for a guaranteed semester of personal finance instruction for all high school students.
The first thing we filmed was a personal interview, where I was asked about the importance of financial education and discussed my own advocacy work. We then filmed B-roll, including me running, making a smoothie, and working at my desk. When my sister came home from DT, we filmed footage with my family as well. Overall, it was a wonderful first day!
