My name is Jonah Klingler, and I’m a junior at St. Lawrence University, double-majoring in Digital Media and Business. I’ve always been passionate about the outdoors, and over time, I found a true calling in videography, photography, and storytelling. For me, there’s nothing more rewarding than capturing someone’s experience in a way that allows them to relive it, and hold onto it as part of their memory.

Connor Shea is a Digital Media and Film student whose work blends critical analysis, creative production, and community engagement. For a summer fellowship, he analyzed 30 films—from Full Metal Jacket (1987) to The Creator (2023)—mapping shifts in war cinema from embodied soldiering to algorithmic targeting. Using critical mapping, contextual analysis, and film theory, his research explored how digital technologies reshape the visibility, intimacy, and abstraction of violence, comparing Hollywood and international perspectives.
