JACK FINN

Franklin ,MA

Summary

Graduate from UMass Amherst with a B.A. in Communications and an undergraduate film studies certificate. Worked on a variety of video projects in the Communications department at UMass, and a handful of video shoots in Nashville Tennessee following the year after undergrad which would bring value to entry positions like Production Assistant or video recorder. UMass provided superb labs for experimenting with various channels of distribution and creation of content, and Nashville brought real field experience that I was looking for.
