Live at Eight: The Movie, is a feature-length film covering the #1 show on National College Television in 1989, that was featured on Rolling Stone Magazine. The film shows the challenges of balancing university life alongside television production, but the importance of the relationships built and pay-off that comes with dedication. Live at Eight was a sketch comedy show on Cable 8 Productions on the Washington State University Pullman campus. 

 "Relax, we'll be in Hollywood in no time"

- Matt, former producer of Live at Eight in the film

After conducting over eight hours of interviews with the original creators of Live at Eight, and watching almost all nine seasons of the show, I single-handedly wrote a 104-page script, blending the archived sketches with my own writing, to create a story that leaves viewers feeling like they are at WSU in 1989. The fall semester covered pre-production processes, while the spring prioritizes completion of the film and digital marketing strategies. So far, the content I have produced, with brand strategy and content design, has engaged with nearly four thousand viewers on social media. 

 "Use this university!" 

- Neal Robison, advisor for Cable 8 Productions in the 1980s. 

Alongside my role as President & General Manager of Cable 8 Productions, I continued to pursue my passion for working directly in production. Oftentimes this position restricted my ability to engage with the hands-on elements of shows. The General Manager position was much more about the strategy and the communication than holding a camera. But I knew I needed to do both to feel fulfilled by my senior year. 

Every Cable 8 show signs a contract for one semester, but 16-weeks isn't nearly enough time to fulfill the standard of the type of work I wanted to produce. A full-year project became a main selling point of my presidential campaign, as it emphasized the importance of taking the time to create high quality content. Our team was the first to do it.
