The UConn Bak­ery is a hid­den haven that pro­vides baked goods for UConn and all of its satel­lite cam­pus­es. Learn about the peo­ple who keep the cogs turn­ing and the labor that makes tons (lit­er­al­ly) of piz­za dough week­ly. This was filmed for a video jour­nal­ism class taught by Pulitzer Prize win­ning pho­to­jour­nal­ist Steven G. Smith. I used a Sony PXW-X70 Video Cam­era Kit, tri­pod and lava­lier micro­phone to con­duct inter­views and col­lect b‑roll.
