Welcome to JTWO
by Greg Fry
When I look back on my life, it’s hard to remember a time where I didn’t have some sort of technology in my hand. The complexity, the fast paced evolution… everything about it grabbed my attention and pulled me in further. In my early middle school years, I began to take an interest in the photos my dad took of me. Eventually, my interest in photography spread to videography and by that point I had taken all of my dads equipment and claimed it as my own.
As I started high school, I still had no idea that I wanted to make a career out of film making, but I knew my interests were far different from many of those in my class. During my summers, I began taking my camera on countless adventures where I fell in love with the idea of short form videos. I became obsessed with the development of turning my ideas into a finished product. While I continued to create, I slowly came to the realization that I wanted to produce videos as a career.
I graduated high school and decided to go to a fairly small university for two years before realizing that I wanted something more. I transferred to Temple University in 2017 where I gained further knowledge of my craft and also developed a passion for concert photography. I spent many of my weekends at concert venues while utilizing the rest of my free time to create videos for classes and personal freelance work.
After my first year at temple (third year as a college student), I have found myself more driven than ever within the media field. With a summer at JTWO to look forward to, I cannot wait to expand my knowledge of the professional industry while simultaneously giving my own creative input when needed.
This project was created as part of the JTWO [INC]ubator Project. A semester long internship program built from the ground up to give young filmmakers, content creators, and all around hungry for a challenge individuals a place to stretch their creative minds while preparing them for the road ahead.
