It Begins with One | National Speech and Debate Association (2025)

For the 2025 National Speech & Debate Tournament, I was hired for event coverage and tasked with producing a suite of videos for the competition and awards ceremony. Working with a small team of two collaborators, we created four high-quality pieces from start to finish in just five days—including a seven-minute feature reflecting on 100 years of the NSDA, which premiered at the awards ceremony before a national audience.

We managed every stage of production: shaping the narrative, filming, sourcing and organizing footage, editing, and delivering polished final pieces on deadline. The result was a collection of videos that captured the energy, talent, and history of the tournament while meeting the organization’s need for professional, fast-paced storytelling.

Below are the three additional videos we produced.
