Welcome to CATCHING UP WITH ... where Fitchburg State students and recent graduates talk to Fitchburg State alumni, reflecting on their time here on campus, celebrating their accomplishments, and discussing how they got from here to where they are now.
In this special follow-up episode, Buffy Cautela (COMM ‘22) and Autumn Olson (COMM/HIST ‘20) catch up with each other one year after their first interview, which you can find in our previous episode.
They discuss Autumn’s recent projects in Los Angeles and Buffy’s experiences as a Production Assistant on film and television productions in Massachusetts -- and a gig as a substitute teacher -- and how those experiences led her to continue her education by enrolling in the MFA program at Columbia University in New York City, studying Screenwriting and Directing.
Buffy and Autumn also delve into the unpredictability of life and the importance of enjoying the human experience, embracing every opportunity you get and every interaction you face.
