Meet the Team

I’m Lathem Barbree, a freelance videographer and content creator who focuses on capturing the energy of live sports. I shoot and edit game recaps and highlight reels for local high school teams, and my work also reaches into short films and documentaries. Some of my films have been official festival selections, and I’m currently developing new projects as a First-Year Scholar at Kennesaw State University. I spend most of my time behind the camera, always trying to get better at what I do and tell stories that stick with people.  

Hello, my name is Elle Harward-Grant. I am an Honors student in my freshman year at Kennesaw State University. I am currently studying Organizational and Professional Communications and am interested in working with people and media in my career, whether that's Advertising, Public Relations, or some form of Journalism. I am proud to be a part of the First-Year Scholars Program community, work alongside other students who share similar goals and ambitions, and empower those who are underrepresented through this project, “Capturing Stories and Sharing Voices.  

A sophomore at KSU, I’m majoring in Linguistics, minoring in Japanese, and am interested in translation and linguistic research. I’m also intrigued by linguistic applications in the film industry, such as dialect recreation and fictional language development. After being a part of the 3rd Kennesaw Film Festival’s success last year, I look forward to watching the festival continue to grow and bring wacky, clever, enlightening, and ingenuitive films to the big screen.  

Hi, my name is Arianna Rosa! I am an Honors Marketing Interest major here at KSU for my freshman year. My passions are film and marketing. I am in the first-year scholar program to deepen those passions and I'm in the undergraduate research club. I plan to be more involved on campus and in my community to enrich my leadership skills.
