Why I Ride is the three‑minute closing segment of WBZ Boston's Pan‑Mass Challenge program, produced by Snowcap Productions. The Pan‑Mass Challenge is the annual Massachusetts bike‑a‑thon. Every rider dollar goes to cancer research and care at Dana‑Farber Cancer Institute. The segment follows three cancer survivors and their reasons for getting on the bike.
Snowcap Productions hired me to edit the segment and build its graphics for the WBZ broadcast. I had three survivor interviews, a deep archive of their personal photos, and three minutes. I braided the three stories into one and let the photos carry the moments between soundbites. The ending is built so the program goes out on a high note.
Most of the job was listening: finding the honest moments in long interviews and giving each survivor room to land. It aired on WSBK Channel 38 in Boston.
I cut interview‑driven stories, from broadcast segments to full documentaries, for networks, nonprofits, and brands across New England and New York.
