NEW INSTRUCTOR ALERT!!
 
NAME: BENJAMIN ALFORD JR
POSITION: Digital Media/Photography/Film
 
EXPERIENCE/BACKGROUND: I have B.A. Degree in Media Arts/Communication Arts from Johnson C. Smith University. I entered JCSU wanting to become an on air radio personality/producer. The radio program was cut as soon as I got to school. My first two years I dabbled in Marketing and Biology; until met my former Professor now Mentor, Cara Deleone. Cara introduced me into the abstract world of video production and the structured world of video production. Both fueled a passion I never knew I had while creating a different narrative with a camera and on a computer screen. While in college, took Photography course to sharpen my skills while learning to be a camera operator and assist on creative flow for video editing. After finishing college, I received a brief internship with TYLER PERRY STUDIOS, INC in Atlanta, GA. From then on I worked PA roles for BAD BOY South, BIG OOMP RECORDS, other recording companies located in Atlanta. After freelancing for quite some time. My wife and I decided to form a digital media company to cater to local talent, small businesses and some ongoing events in Metro Atlanta Area. My wifes’ background in television broadcasting and my entertainment industry experience. We formed Gorilla and Jane Media Services, LLC.

HOMETOWN: Atlanta, Ga

OUTLOOK FOR SCHOOL YEAR:
Ultimately creating a spark in the students to create a full department/club where they cover the schools’ events and happenings. While giving them a sense of awareness to the vast possibilities of digital media platforms. Hoping to expand their thought process of how digital media is much more than social media but a true creative construct of business opportunities.
