I am a First Gen

“I am a First Gen” is an experimental documentary project that shares a story about a CUNY college student’s journey and how they faced certain challenges and obstacles while exploring this path on their own. This project aims to bring awareness and solidarity to other CUNY students because they are not alone. Their stories matter and deserve recognition so that future generations understand how to navigate this path better. This documentary applies the following techniques such as motion graphics, kinetic typography, b-roll, interviewing, voice over and a first-person storytelling perspective.
