Event Description
In the past few years I have gotten the opportunity to work on the
production of two incredible Super Bowl Halftime Show performances. The 1st
was with Bruno Mars in East Rutherford, NJ for Super Bowl XLVIII and the
2nd was in San Francisco, CA with Coldplay and Beyonce for Super Bowl 50.
During these two incredibly eye-opening opportunities I met some
extraordinary industry professionals. I have invited FIVE of them to come
speak at Drexel University about their careers thus far and their years of
professional experiences.
The event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and will take place in the URBN
Annex Screening Room (3401 Filbert Street) on the evening of Tuesday June
7th 2016 from 6-9pm. From 6-8pm, the presenters will tell stories, provide
behind the scene knowledge, present video footage, as well as engage in an
Question and Answer session regarding of their experiences with "The 24
Minute Miracle. 24 minutes is the amount of time that the producers have
to set up the show on the field, run the show and clear it off the field
before the players take the field. Following the presentation, the event
will move to the lobby of the URBN Annex where a 1-hour dessert reception
will take place. During this time, I have suggested that students provide
resumes and speak with the presenters about potential job and internship
opportunities.
