Instead of having a New Years resolution for 2012, I decided to instead challenge myself to help 12 non-profit organizations by doing a pro-bono video spotlight for a new group every month this coming year.

January showcases the work of the Engeye Scholars program, whose mission is to support the educational initiative of the Engeye Health Clinic and provide support to children living in and around Ddegeya Village, Uganda. For more information visit: www.engeyescholars.org

If you’re involved with a non-profit group or have any recommendations of organizations (in the Westchester/NYC area) that could really benefit from the creation of video content, please e-mail me at seangallagher86@gmail.com

Sean Gallagher: 2011 Film Reel - Videographer & Editor
This past year has been one of the best and this video is just a little showcase of some of the things I’ve shot. I got to work on some amazing projects with even more amazing people and I am extremely proud of the work created in 2011… but what I’m most excited for is 2012! This next year will be post-production on The Black List documentary, cinematography and editing on The Red Thread: An Operatic Film Short & hopefully lots more poetry videos and short-form documentary projects! Got interesting ideas or need to hire someone? Reach me at: seangallagher86@gmail.com

we expect world peace
but then we’re too lazy to
signal a lane change

studsmcgee: I usually like to hide behind my camera, but recently I had to go in front of one for Westchester Magazine’s “24 under 30” (Click here to read full feature). Jack of All Trades: Sean Gallagher, 24Freelance Videographer, Editor, and Journalist plus Technology Staff Member at Jacob Burns Film Center, PleasantvilleSean Gallagher landed a job as a web designer right out of SUNY Oneonta, moved to an apartment in Albany, and was well on the path to responsible adulthood, when he decided to buck conventional wisdom. “I did what everyone tells you not to do. I quit my job without finding another one first and moved back to Westchester.” Bad move? Not at all. He quickly landed at Patch.com, where he wrote local news articles and shot and edited videos, meeting a whole lot of people on the way. Many eventually became clients, including Nancy Shenker of theONswitch, a marketing company in Yonkers. “Sean produced a short film for me about the evolution of journalism.” she says. “He wrote it, starred in it, and shot it on a budget of less than two hundred dollars. At the age of twenty-four, he is already a soulful and accomplished filmmaker and poet.” Gallagher caught the film bug early. “My parents got me a camera in high school.” While still in college, he was a co-director and editor for The Black List, a civil rights documentary about the longest, continually litigated civil rights case in American history, which was a finalist in the 2008 Westchester County Film Festival. He was the SUNY Oneonta Grand Slam Champion in 2008; his slam team went on to finish fourth in the nation at the College National Poetry Slam. In addition to his freelance career, he is a member of the technology staff at the Jacob Burns Film Center. With all his accomplishments, what is he most proud of? “Having the guts to leave a steady job to do the work I love. The key is to have fun at work.” Indeed, he is having so much fun at Jacob Burns, he believes he could very well still be there in 10 years. “I love it.” “One day we will be seeing Sean at Sundance and/or on the Oscar stage,” Shenker says. “His range is amazing—from the short, corporate film to the heartfelt documentary. He is the ultimate ‘next generation storyteller,’ using a range of media—words, pictures, and electronic techniques—to educate, inspire, influence, and inform.”
