Communications Students Shadow Production of Two EntertainmentShows in Wynwood-Miami
The students of UIC were invited to visit the studios of Sierralta Entertainment located in Wynwood-Miami. The purpose of the visit was to shadow producers and talent while shooting the entertainment show Converzakkando with Henry Zakka.
Studio owner, Miguel Sierralta, had a very special plan for the visit and upon arrival gave all our students a tour around the facilities and the production department.
Actress and reality star Sissy Fleitas was the guest of the day and while shooting the interview with Henry Zakka, was also shooting her reality show “Rica Famosa & Latina”.
UIC students were able to shadow two shows with two crews for different networks shooting simultaneously. “This was an invaluable experience for the students as they met talent and production and were invited to take pictures on set with them” says Liliana Moyano, UIC’s Communications and Mass Media program director.
Manuel Romero, a student from the Bachelor program in Communications and Mass Media added: “I am currently enrolled in the MMC 426 Reality Shows course and, after learning the theory, it was fascinating to see how reality TV is staged. It isn’t as real as it seems. I also noticed that content and creativity is what really matters instead of excessive high cost equipment.”
UIC is greatful to Miguel Sierralta and the Cast and Crew of Converzakkando for the learning experience offered to our students.
