This past Saturday I had the opportunity to watch my 76^th and final video as a student at Calvert Hall premiere on Facebook live with 200 other viewers. It wasn’t the premiere that we had hoped for in the Theatre with the Calvert Hall Community during the LaSalle Liturgy, but it was an exciting one none the less. Over my four years at Calvert Hall, I’ve had the opportunities to work on over 75 videos for the Campus Ministry Office, Student Activities, Admissions, Theatre, and the Advancement team. I met Mr. Michael Clark, Director of Campus Ministry, and Mrs. Danielle Hladky, Director of Communications & Marketing, during my first two weeks of school as a freshmen in 2016. I quickly got involved by working on a Turkey Bowl hype video, then we began introducing “Call to Worship” videos into mass. I’ve recently spent some time looking back on some of this work, some of the first projects I had the chance to do at the Hall and I realize how much Calvert Hall has given me the opportunity to better myself and these skills through these four years. The Faculty and Staff apart from the standard teachers in the classroom do not go unnoticed at Calvert Hall. They are also there, pushing each and every student. Mrs. Hladky, Mr. Clark, Mr. Baker, Bro. John, Mrs. Kamp (former Theatre Director) and so many more have given me and hundreds of other student’s opportunities to grow in their talents and they push each student to do the best work possible. I look back onto when we did Beauty and the Beast for our Spring Musical in 2018, I had taken the role of Student Communications Director for our Theatre Program that fall. Mrs. Kamp and I wanted to launch new social media pages that would go unmatched by any other high school program. We pushed ourselves to launch a trailer the morning of Opening Night. I worked through some drafts, sent one over to her and Braeden Boyle (’20). They both responded with, “Ok, this looks good. We’re getting there.” I knew it could be better, and so did they. I opened up a clean slate, started fresh, sent a new copy some time later and got a message saying, “Now that is a video.” The Calvert Hall faculty pushed me to do more than just my best work. In the fall of my Junior Year, I decided I wanted to start a company to work with other businesses on their video production needs. I started “Brune Digital Media (BDM).” Mr. Clark helped me come up with the name one day after school, a company centered on Digital Media and creating content with a purpose. Through each project at Calvert Hall and beyond Calvert Hall, I wanted there to be a purpose, an emotion, or a feeling elicited in the audience. Each project should tell a story and bring something to those watching, whether it is joy and excitement on the day you’re accepted into the Hall, self-awareness of our differences and how they unite us at Thanksgiving, motivation as we enter the 100^th Turkey Bowl, or even the brotherhood while recapping our Freshmen Retreat. Calvert Hall has not only helped develop me into a better person, but it has helped me develop my storytelling skills that will assist me in the future to continue to create Content with a Purpose.
