    Gina's work is very great! The material is abundant. She followed the characters for two days and filmed a lot of details. Also, she did very good before hand research; thanks to her, we could have a so good story. Great job!

  • A black journeys to a white mecca

    • Documentary DP
    • News Shooter / Video Journalist

    Founded in the 1980s and with over 70,000 attendees, Burning Man, the annual counter-culture desert party, is a white affair: less than 1% of attendees are African American. Why aren't there more blacks at Burning Man? The founder stoked controversy by claiming it was because black people "don't like to camp." We will follow a black virgin to Burning Man and explore the question, why aren't there more black people at Burning Man?
