Anatomy of a Broadcast Mix - Eurosport World Cup

Working on the Soccer World Cup can be a bit crazy at times. We’re over in South Africa with Eurosport and with a team of about 40 people there are over eight different languages spoken.

In Her Footsteps

Trevor recently was part of the documentary team in the limited cinema release of “In Her Footsteps” a documentary about poverty relief in India.
