GritTV shorts coming soon

Exciting news everyone! After hours of ingesting tapes (completed by previous interns Jenny and Shay) followed by hours of sifting through Grit TV shorts consisting of a vast spectrum of content, Tik and I have finally been able to start scheduling 5 different shorts a week! I assume she will just start from the top of the list in my google document, so I can't tell you exactly what the shorts will be about. Over the last couple months, Lauren gave me the assignment to sift through a long list of shorts, watch them, cut them to an appropriate time code, and add an FSTV bumper to each clip. For those of you who are not familiar with GritTV shorts, they are a series of various announcements, event promotions, short documentaries, documentary trailers, speeches, stories, news broadcasts, and other important subjects displayed for discussion and support from viewer's. GritTV is hosted by the one and only, Laura Flanders, who is an awesome lady and a close friend to the staff here at FSTV, I recently discovered.

Keep your eyes peeled for GritTV shorts on FSTV's channel, they are short! It's one thing to be able to sift through over a hundred shorts, I've learned so much and heard stories from so many individuals whom I may never be able to meet or hear from again, but to be able to play them on a network like FSTV's is so much more powerful! I can't wait for all of them to finally receive the exposure they deserve (in addition to the play time they receive on GritTV, of course). It's also very exciting to know that even the simple, donated time and work of us interns can turn into something that is distributed on an actual TV network with thousands of viewers!
