What is Trojan Vision?

Trojan Vision is USC’s entirely student-run television and digital media organization and is formally listed in the course catalog as CTPR-409. The class operates as a real production studio, where students create original programming by students, for students. Through game shows, talk shows, live events, and short-form digital content, participants gain hands-on experience across every stage of production, including development, directing, camera operation, editing, and distribution. The course mirrors a professional working environment while emphasizing collaboration, leadership, and gives students practical, real-world experience producing content that reflects campus culture at the University of Southern California.

The Major Question (Spring 2025)

As Executive Producer of The Major Question, a USC-based game show developed in a class led by legendary producer JD Roth, I helped oversee the project from development through the final cut of every episode. The show challenges campus stereotypes by putting two students head-to-head as they try to guess each other’s major based on first impressions and educated guesses. I managed pre-production, filming, and post-production to ensure a smooth workflow and strong execution throughout the show. I’m incredibly proud of this crew and everything we pulled off. The show’s website even includes a play-along feature for each episode, letting viewers test themselves and see if they can answer the Major Question too, which I highly recommend checking out. Huge shoutout to Kayden-Harmony Greenstein, one of our amazing showrunners, for helping lead the show and for building the site as well. Click below to watch for yourself and play along!

The Ultimate Trojan (Coming soon)

 As Showrunner of The Ultimate Trojan, I served as a high-level decision maker overseeing the project from concept through execution. The show centers on a simple but competitive question: who really knows USC better, the students who just arrived or the ones about to graduate? By pitting freshmen against seniors in a fast-paced showdown of campus knowledge, traditions, and culture, the series celebrates what it means to be a Trojan while tapping into the shared experiences that define life at USC. In this role, I guided creative direction, production decisions, and overall show flow to ensure the series was engaging, polished, and built for a student audience.
