Manny Gore’s Story

Filmed and photographed in 2025, this visual project is part of a growing series of health journey stories my team and I are developing at B. Braun Medical.

  • Conducting pre-interviews, researching, planning and coordinating the project

  • Booking travel, preparing and traveling solo with equipment

  • Setting up, lighting and conducting interviews

  • Taking photos and recording all interviews and b-roll footage

  • Obtaining family photos to be included in the video

  • Editing the video story and all photos

  • Leading the review and approval process before publishing

The Global Social Impact Fellowship

Behind the Scenes

In addition to serving as Lehigh University's videographer, I advised students who were interested in visual storytelling. One group I mentored was telling a story about maternal death rates in Sierra Leone. I helped teach them fundamental video, research and preparation skills. Later, I successfully pitched my department on building a story of my own on the fellowship. I traveled with the students and guided their project while also filming their fieldwork and that of other student groups. Finally, I was allowed to have a production assistant with me in country. I brought my husband since we work seamlessly together and since he knows and understands my creative process.

My involvement included:

  • Researching, planning and coordinating the video

  • Conducting pre-interviews and filming prior to travel

  • Booking travel, preparing and traveling with equipment

  • Setting up, lighting and conducting interviews in the field

  • Taking photos and recording interviews and b-roll footage

  • Coordinating with production assistant in country for better coverage of events

  • Mentoring students before, during and after travel

  • Helping students set up interviews and advising on best practices

  • Helping students edit footage for their project

  • Editing video and photos and writing a short story for university publications

  • Leading the review and approval process before publishing
