The M3<\/sup> Spotlight – a new feature in the newsletter – will pose three questions to a student, parent, instructor or staff member connected with our institutions who has an inspiring story to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our debut, we\u2019re excited to introduce you to Marcelo Martinez, a videographer and \u201csupergraduate\u201d who earned degrees from MPS, MATC, and UWM. Martinez currently works at UWM and has extensive and varied experience in his field from work with the Milwaukee Film Festival and other nonprofits to an award-winning documentary at the Splice Film Festival in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name<\/b>: Marcelo Martinez<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High School<\/b>: Graduated from MPS Alexander Hamilton High School<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Degrees<\/b>: Associate\u2019s degree in TV and video production from MATC; Bachelor\u2019s degree in film, video, animation and new genres from UWM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What inspired you to become a videographer?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I grew up watching a lot of films as a child. It was my escape. I watched a lot of (grown-up) films at a young age. I felt like it was just a window into a different life, different cultures, and different ways of thinking. It helped open me up and really gave me an open mind. It showed me different points of view, that my way wasn\u2019t the only way of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the biggest takeaway that you learned from your time at MATC and UWM?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That making connections is really important. It\u2019s not just about getting an \u201cA.\u201d It\u2019s about encompassing everything that you do at school. Getting involved is really important because that\u2019s where you\u2019re going to make your connections. That\u2019s where you\u2019re going to learn a lot about life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice would you pass along to an MPS student?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I did really well in high school. I graduated with a high GPA and was involved in a lot of things. It would have been nice if there was a program like M3<\/sup> College Connections when I was younger. In terms of the transition between high school and college, I wish there was something like M3<\/sup> to help with my study skills. I really want to get my nieces and nephews involved in it when they get older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, don\u2019t be afraid to go to college. I think going to college is such an incredible experience. It\u2019s not only important for an education, but the socialization and again – the connections you make. It\u2019s worth your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
