Two Furman University Students Win Student Emmys

Two documentaries by Furman University students were honored with Southeast Student Production Awards – otherwise known as the Student Emmys – by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Alexis Hildenbrandt ’22 and Luke Harvin ’21 worked as one-person crews for their projects, handling video, sound, editing and narration, using equipment from the communication studies department’s media lab.

Hildenbrandt, who grew up in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, was inspired by memories of family trips to Charleston.

“I knew exactly when we got to Charleston because of the vendors who lined the highway selling their sweetgrass baskets,” she says. “I always was intrigued by the art of the sweetgrass baskets. I knew there was a deep culture; I just didn’t know all of the details.”
