Convinced that film was just a hobby, Jake Chamberlain came to the U to pursue medicine. But after filming for a global-health, study-abroad trip in India, he realized he could turn his passion into a career. Last summer, Chamberlain traveled the world to take part in a six-part filming project highlighting social startups for the Clinton Global Initiative Program, combining his love of innovation, global health and filmmaking. A soon-to-be graduate of the U’s Film Department and regular collaborator with the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute, Chamberlain is now trying to make it cheaper for student entrepreneurs to hire professional filmmakers. “They need videos,” Chamberlain said, “so I’m looking at ways to make it cheaper for them to hire me.”
