Toilet Paper
One sheet, two-sheet, three sheets or four…some use less and some use more. What am I?

I chose Derek Blanks because I like how he was transparent about all the struggles he encountered from the beginning of his career path, and all the way through to what it took to become a successful professional photographer. I enjoyed learning about the different ways he was challenged when he was in school and had different jobs, he overcame many difficult challenges to get where he is today, and did it because he knew this was his passion.
He continues to challenge himself to improve in all areas of his career.

RTN – Animator
Wayne Unten was originally a graphics design major but had a lingering sense of not knowing what he wanted to do. All he knew was that he wanted to do art, which hints at why he was a graphic design major. One day in an illustration class, he saw that they were telling “stories” through the illustrations, something so simple, yet he had never dwelled on it until then. Just like that a spark was lit and was only pushed further with the help of films, Jurassic Park being the most notable. Unten knew from then that he wanted to make something like Jurassic Park.

Roadtrip Nation – A Director
I chose to report on Gina Prince-Bythewood, a director who has worked on a variety of projects. She stood out to me for her decision to appeal her denial from film school, which I wasn’t really aware was something that could be done!

Christian Troy.
Christian Troy is the executive-director of Waves for Water, an international NGO working to bring clean drinking water developing countries and other places worldwide after natural disasters. In his own words he says,
“traveling, surfing, storytelling, I love that component of it. Politics, dealing with governments and the culture of politics in these places. And helping people. This job is tailored to the greatest things that I can do on a daily basis.”
