One last shoutout and huge thank you to Hugo Medina for allowing me to spend some time with him. #ICVisjourn
Introducing our main social actor, Hugo Medina. Hugo is a local Ithaca Muralist #ICVisjourn
This is another one of Hugo’s incredible Murals. You can check this one out on the side of the ‘The Hotel Ithaca.’ #ICVisjourn
Painted Voices also dives into how important art is for representing marginalized groups and why we need to preserve our public art. #ICVisjourn
Painted Voices is a story that touches on current issues in our country revolving around immigration and the way immigrants have been treated as of late. #ICVisjourn
Super happy and satisfied with how my title card came out; introducing ‘Painted Voices.’ #ICVisjourn
I am also so inspired by my father, who is a band teacher! I've had such a great time learning more about my parents during this process. #ICVisJourn @allisonmarie07.bsky.social
I am excited to share my mom's story as a 6th-grade teacher! She inspires me as well as all of her students. #ICVisJourn @allisonmarie07.bsky.social
My documentary heavily focuses on the influence my mom and dad have had on others in their schools. I loved learning about how others have been impacted by their teaching and kindness throughout their education. #ICVisJourn @allisonmarie07.bsky.social
As part of filming for this documentary, I visited my parents' schools and experienced what a typical day in their lives looks like. This was such a nice experience, and I'm grateful that I was able to get more of a look into their careers! #ICVisJourn @allisonmarie07.bsky.social
My parents both teach at the New York City Department of Education. They have faced challenges in the past, but have been committed to teaching at their respective schools for over 30 years. #ICVisJourn @allisonmarie07.bsky.social

Why do people our age bet?
Is it boredom?
Pressure?
The adrenaline?
Or just wanting to feel more connected to the game?
If you’ve ever felt the highs, the lows, or the “maybe I should stop” moment,
I’d love to hear your story — long or short, serious or funny. #ICVisJourn
• Do you or your friends bet on sports?
• Is it “just for fun,” or has it ever crossed a line?
• What’s the vibe on your campus — is betting normalized or still seen as risky?
#ICVisJourn
On the way driving to the interview and do you think sports betting is good for everyone? And if you would like adding a law for it what it it going to be? #ICVisJourn
This whole documentary started as I heard this guy lose his money for grocery... Stay tuned and update soon! #ICVisJourn
Shooting with snow outside is chilling and such a vibe. Do you know anything about sports gambling industry? Leave it on comment! #ICVisJourn
