Andrew Van Heusden, Senior
\nNative of\u00a0Brighton, Michigan
\nMajoring in film, television and digital media and journalism<\/p>\n
Whether Andrew Van Heusden is in front of the camera or behind it,\u00a0there is no doubt he can tell a story. And he\u2019s no rookie, either. Van Heusden has been bringing stories to life ever since he was eight years old.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is what I love about this major,\u201d he said. \u201cIt allows me to think outside the box.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recently, Van Heusden participated in the SFA 24-Hour Film Festival \u2014 a competition where he had to create a horror flick in a day. He\u2019s exhausted but still hard at work preparing this week\u2019s newscast for student media.<\/p>\n
\u201cI prefer to be behind the camera because I feel like I am learning something new,\u201d Van Heusden said. \u201cI don’t mind being in front of the camera and I encourage everyone interested in film to try it once, but overall I love being behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n
When he\u2019s not creating movies in a day, you can find him laser-focused on all sorts of creative projects in Moudy South.<\/p>\n
In addition to producing content and reporting for TCU\u2019s student media, Van Heusden just released an entertainment podcast titled Frogflix.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all have dreams and we are all pursuing them,\u201d Van Heusden said. \u201cI know for a fact it’s not easy to make it big in the film business. Regardless, I have learned to just keep moving forward because people will notice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although he doesn\u2019t have a dream job just yet, he said an invitation to the Academy Awards would be amazing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":746,"template":"","class_list":["post-745","student_work","type-student_work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sw_category-film-television-and-digital-media"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
