Two new promos

Over the break, I've been working on submitting two documentaries to the College TV awards. I have no idea how they'll do, I'm not expecting much since it's a national competition. However, it did require me to cut 45 second promos of each film. So, for those of you who haven't had the chance to see either "In Good Faith"", my hour long documentary on the Boston mosque controversy, or "For Others", a short 17 minute profile of 4Boston volunteers, here are 45 second clips of each.

"In Good Faith: Building a mosque and a community"



Concerns over radical extremism fill newspapers and blogs daily.
"In Good Faith" takes a look at the Boston Muslim community and their
personal struggle to establish themselves in an atmosphere of fear and
speculation.

Through one on one interviews with community
members and leaders, Matt Porter examines the local Islamic population
and the stereotypes they face while building New England's largest
mosque. Also interviewed are leaders of the American Jewish Committee,
Hebrew College, the Boston Archdiocese, and Muslim American Society.

"For Others"



About 20 Boston College students volunteer four hours a week at
the Jackson Mann School Adult Education program. At the program, BC
students are helping prepare adults for their GED or assist in English
as a Second Language (ESL) classes. "For Others" is a documentary
profiling four of those students and their experiences at Jackson Mann.
