Back in April for one of our first episodes, ATMI senior producer Quinn White shared her story about being in college in New York City when coronavirus cases were first starting to rise. She made her way back to Alaska safely and has spent the summer here.
Now that cases are down in New York and the fall semester is here, Quinn is returning to college. Except she’s not going back to Mount St. Vincent in the Bronx. She’s headed to another pandemic hotspot. Los Angeles.
Fellow senior producer Daisy Carter connected with Quinn over Zoom on August 7th 2020, to talk about her move.

Earlier this summer, a group of alumni from Anchorage Christian Schools connected through social media over shared experiences that they had during their time there.
With the help of an open letter from former Miss Alaska, Ariane Audett, over one hundred and twenty Black, Indigenous, People of Color have shared their stories: decades of racial discrimination and abuse they were victim to while attending ACS and its parent organization, Anchorage Baptist Temple.
Joshua Branstetter is one of the alumni speaking out. He is a filmmaker and photographer, based in Anchorage. In 2020 he was a recipient of a Rasmuson Foundation Fellowship for his work with Absolute Zero, an art and documentary project creating a voice for survivors of abuse throughout Alaska.
ATMI senior producer Cornilius Nelson spoke with Joshua over Zoom on July 28th, 2020, about how his experiences at ACS have shaped him as a filmmaker, activist, parent, and a person.

ATMI senior producer Daisy Carter, who is now a sophomore at UAA, attended the film, audio, and video production class at King Technical High school a few years ago. It’s where she learned a lot of the skills that she’s brought to her work here at ATMI.
But this year, that course is much different than when she was there. Due to the coronavirus hitting this spring, classes had to switch to an online format. It’s one thing to learn math or history over Zoom, but a hands-on craft like filmmaking isn't as easy to learn remotely.
So Daisy called up her former teacher, Jeremy Blake, who is entering his third year teaching the course. They spoke about the adjustments he had to make in switching to online learning, how the pandemic has affected students’ lives and education, and how the film industry is trying to work safely.
They spoke over Zoom on July 29th, 2020.
