This year I got to work for an amazing organization known at UCLA as the Pediatric AIDS Coalition. Each year PAC puts on an event known as Dance Marathon in which students raise money to help fight pediatric AIDS and must stay on their feet, dancing, for 26 hours. I was apart of the media team and helped create all of the content that was showed throughout the event. It was 5 months of meetings, shoots, editing and of course, dancing. The actual event was one of the most exhausting and grueling activities I have ever taken part in. I literally think that it is more difficult than running an actual marathon. It is truly scary how delusional you become by staying up for 26 hours, your bodily and mind literally turn against you and want nothing more than for you to implode. By the end of the event, I had not only felt like I got to help out with something that was truly special but all of the long hours and hard work that I had put into the event were paid off. It was completely worth it! Below are some of the videos that I created for the event.
