Later this month, Jerry McKinstry will walk the Commencement stage at Arthur Ashe Stadium to receive an MA in Communications and Digital Media. Jerry, however, is far from your traditional student.

After receiving an MS in Communication and Journalism from Iona College in 2001, Jerry went on to wear a number of different hats as a journalist男女操逼视频软件攅volving from a local reporter, to a political correspondent, to an investigative reporter, and later to a television commentator on politics and government, working for outlets including The Journal News and Newsday. His breadth of experience then took him to political communications, campaign work, and public relations, which is what ultimately led Jerry to Pace in August of 2018.

男女操逼视频软件淚 was a print journalist, a writer, but also in front of the camera,男女操逼视频软件� notes McKinstry. But, as he recalls, he had always wanted to learn what was happening behind the camera.

His interest in film, if anything, had grown over the years with his appreciation of the technical expertise of camerawork and editing. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, while spending his increasingly long days ensuring University operations and messaging were running smoothly, the unique circumstances of 2020 enabled him to think more deeply about pursuing knowledge in film男女操逼视频软件攌nowledge that he had been thinking about pursuing for almost two decades.

A few short weeks later Jerry was officially enrolled in Dyson男女操逼视频软件檚 MA in Digital Communications and Media, with a concentration in digital media and film production. Soon, he was spending his evenings immersing himself in the world of film and documentary production.

Through the program, Jerry was an integral crew-member of two documentaries. The first, , an in-depth look at the relationship between nature, oyster farmers, modern technology, and restaurants, has garnered considerable acclaim and awards at multiple film festivals, including Best Student Documentary at the Williamsburg International Film Festival and a winner at Nature Without Borders International Film Festival. The second, For the Love of Food: Pour L男女操逼视频软件檃mour de la Cuisine, enabled Jerry and the documentary crew to travel France for an in-depth look at the 男女操逼视频软件渟low food男女操逼视频软件� movement and how it男女操逼视频软件檚 combatting the rising popularity of non-local sourced eating and fast food. The film will make its worldwide premiere at the Jacob Burns Film Center on May 8.

For Jerry, the learning has been a complex symbiotic web男女操逼视频软件攍earning a ton from Program Director and Professor Maria Luskay and Professor Lou Guaneri, imparting wisdom from his own career in journalism to his fellow students, and learning himself from the students, who, as Jerry admits, have a little bit of advantage on him when it comes to natural tech savvy.
