Bailey Kearns
Production Manager
Major: Film & Video Studies
Concentration: Directing
Year: Senior
Bio: My name is Bailey Kearns and I’m a Senior in my final semester at GMU. I’m also a film major with a concentration in directing. I also enjoy writing, editing and cinematography. A big reason I applied for the Mason Cable Network was to get experience working on a live television production. Working on a live broadcast is much different than working with prerecorded media, so it’s an exciting new frontier for me.
