The youngest of six children, she grew up on a cattle ranch in Colorado. She began her time at BYU as a Chemistry major but after two years realized that science was no longer her passion. In search of a completely new direction she took the Intro to Film class. It only took a single lecture for her to make up her mind and soon she was accepted into the BYU Film program.

Christian Jensen is a filmmaker with a professional emphasis in documentary producing and editing. He has worked on both fiction and non-fiction films in a variety of capacities including, production sound, electric, camera, writing, editing, directing and producing. His relative versatility comes from having worked on everything from large, nationally distributed projects (National Geographic Television, PBS Frontline) to smaller niche projects for regional PBS, public exhibit, and the Latin American market. Christian’s past projects have frequently been character-based or taken on ethnographic qualities and include a series of vignettes about Bahian artists in Brazil, a documentary about the last living leprosy exiles in Hawaii, an exposé on Mormonism, and an off-the-beaten-path series about U.S. National Parks. He has a particular interest in producing films that bridge social divides and appeal to both international and domestic audiences. Currently, he works as a freelance editor and continues to independently develop documentary features and television series. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">Original Air Dates:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">07/21/2010 8pm<br />07/28/2010 12pm<br />07/28/2010 6pm</span></div></i>What Is First Look?http://www.blogger.com/profile/14859354413901655210noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697351389188072208.post-55710784771239664342010-04-02T12:53:00.016-06:002010-07-14T12:35:49.494-06:00Episode 402: "Butterflies"<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.butterfliesmovie.com/images/bflies_17.jpg" /><br /></div><i><br />Featuring "Butterflies" with director Andy Bailey and faculty host Jeff Parkin.</i><div><div></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Butterflies</i> is an imaginative story about a young boy who overcomes his fear of presenting in front of the class for Show and Tell. <span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><span style="font-size:100%;">D</span></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><span style="font-size:100%;">irector Andy Bailey discusses </span></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><span style="font-size:100%;">the challenges of </span></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><span style="font-size:100%;">combining live action and animation, working with </span></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><span style="font-size:100%;">kids</span></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><span style="font-size:100%;">, and shooting on an old roller coaster.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>You can learn more about Andy and the film at the <a href="http://butterfliesmovie.com/">official site</a> or at the film's <a href="http://butterfliesmovie.blogspot.com/">blog</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Original Air Dates</div><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="margin: 0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">07/14/2010 8pm<br />07/21/2010 12pm<br />07/21/2010 6pm</span></span></p></div></div>What Is First Look?http://www.blogger.com/profile/14859354413901655210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697351389188072208.post-76384282725556038392010-04-01T09:19:00.018-06:002010-07-07T14:29:39.665-06:00Episode 401: BYU Animation: Birth of a Program<div style="text-align: center; font-family:arial;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNHyctzYBuO1Y7f-m-3mDytnccAF-wBOZDu4scxDiGmcENH2kLIeHfQjeB8RZTR3Ya3A5NFY4jVUjQvxszjBJVfBvr5lEwh9tRoo6t1P1JhkmzDVxphCUMT-I05DVvppCki05tLZ3dJFM/s1600/petshop.jpg"><img style="text-align: center;float: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNHyctzYBuO1Y7f-m-3mDytnccAF-wBOZDu4scxDiGmcENH2kLIeHfQjeB8RZTR3Ya3A5NFY4jVUjQvxszjBJVfBvr5lEwh9tRoo6t1P1JhkmzDVxphCUMT-I05DVvppCki05tLZ3dJFM/s400/petshop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457979400863722866" border="0" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;">

Balarama & Sita Priya are two converts to the Hare Krishna faith. Director Armstrong reports he was interested in the way their faithful involvement with this religion connects with the modern world. The film provides an eloquent demonstration how upholding the values of one’s faith and worshiping in sincerity are evidence of true devotion.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Tim Irwin knew for awhile that he wanted to make a documentary about shoes. “B.Y. Shoe” examines the shoes that people wear around campus and what that may reveal about the individual. Shoes come with a style, a story, and oftentimes a hefty price. Ultimately, "B.Y.

A musician himself, Groberg shares insights gained on his labor of love while making this short documentary that explore the beauty and joy of playing the upright bass.<br /><br />Being a documentarian himself, we asked former student Justin Cook to shoot and edit his own segment on location in New York, where he currently studies film in the MFA program at Columbia University.

Filmmakers Christian Vuissa and Agustina Perez join us to discuss the personal nature of this story, drawing on their own families' conversion stories.What Is First Look?http://www.blogger.com/profile/14859354413901655210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697351389188072208.post-89949007479075922802008-04-09T13:53:00.011-06:002008-10-17T09:58:57.937-06:00EPISODE 205: COMEDIC NARRATIVES: MISFITS & OUTSIDERS<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9cGXYg-i-xEG9zKooBiARzBmnjEz9qrge3Cta7bmJBKH-iBKPDsViOiyot-q0Z8TozIojRfChweh-yAlgXAs_lO002GadND8FXydz2um_hmpkG9NMZrMME7QcghWUfIH6EXtVJmMIMAA/s1600-h/FL285.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192566632468456466" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; cursor: pointer; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9cGXYg-i-xEG9zKooBiARzBmnjEz9qrge3Cta7bmJBKH-iBKPDsViOiyot-q0Z8TozIojRfChweh-yAlgXAs_lO002GadND8FXydz2um_hmpkG9NMZrMME7QcghWUfIH6EXtVJmMIMAA/s400/FL285.jpg" border="0" /></a>"285: The Movie"<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><em>Featured "<a href="http://mormonlit.lib.byu.edu/lit_work.php?w_id=25898">285: The Movie</a>" and "<a href="http://mormonlit.lib.byu.edu/lit_work.php?w_id=24192">Hoagies</a>" with filmmakers Matt Kammerer, Tyler Weston, and Brandon Arnold with faculty member Jeff Parkin<br /><br /></em>In this episode we feature two unique comedic narratives.
