Hunter News Now students honed their anchoring skills last week in preparation for their first newscast on March 11th.  

On-air talent coach Lennart Bourin told Prof. Sissel McCarthy’s students exactly what he tells the CNN anchors and reporters he now works with: be yourself and own the story. “The most important thing is to be authoritative and natural at the same time,” said Bourin, who spent 40 years in the news business as a cameraman, writer, and producer at NBC News, ABC News, Al Jazeera, and Bloomberg TV.

VISION PORTRAITS is a deeply personal documentary by award-winning filmmaker Rodney Evans (BROTHER TO BROTHER) as he explores how his loss of vision may impact his creative future. Using archival material, interviews and observational footage of several visually impaired creative artists, the film is a tantalizing meditation on blindness and creativity, a sensual work that opens our minds to new possibilities. 

“Evans has made a touchingly honest ode to the inner life of all artists.”
-Robert Abele, The Los Angeles Times
