Student Case Study: Raul Flores
My name is Raul and I have been creating content for the last 10 years. What started as a hobby has grown into a full-time job and daily pursuit. I have traveled to 25 countries capturing live events through photography and videography. This has allowed me to understand how to successfully target any audience through audiovisual content. This paired with my experience in broadcast television and live productions have prepared me to embrace the ever-changing media landscape we face today. In applying these important lessons I have been able to help the organizations I work for to thrive and continue to stay relevant. I enjoy traveling, watching movies, learning, and capturing moments that last forever.
Florida International University Social Media Class Creates Videos For Positive Impact During COVID-19 Quarantine Using Filmmaking For Good
Raul Flores // Student // Florida International University // College of Business: “My name is Raul Flores and I was part of the Filmmaking For Good program at Florida International University with Dr. Nancy Richmond facilitating the course as part of our Social Media Marketing semester.
My experience with FFG was great! I loved every part of it and I thought that the knowledge that you are able to get and the information was great. I think it’s important to stay up to date and I think this program definitely did that. Those little nuggets of new information for me were great and it just kept things really fresh.
"Overall it was a great experience and I hope you get to enjoy and experience the same because there’s so much to learn and so much knowledge you can put to practice that will take your filmmaking, videography and content creation to another level.”

CONTINUED RESEARCH
1977-2019
Moses Shumow (PhD University of Miami) was an associate professor of Journalism and Media at Florida International University.
He is co-author of “News, Neoliberalism, and Miami’s Fragmented Urban Space” (Lexington Books) on Miami’s racial, ethnic and class informational divide, and his research on media, geography, migration, race, and development has been published in peer-reviewed journals, including Journalism, Journalism Studies, Media, Culture & Society, and Journal of Urban Affairs. Dr. Shumow is the director of “Liberty Square: Power, History and Race in Miami,” a documentary focused on a historic housing development as a critical commentary on the history of race and power in Miami. In 2016, he was named a member of the “Next Generation of Dreamers” by The Miami Times, South Florida’s oldest newspaper representing the information and news interests of the black community.
Prior to embarking on a career in academia, Dr. Shumow spent a decade working in documentary filmmaking, playing key production roles in nationally-broadcast programs on Discovery, History Channel, American Experience, and Frontline, as well as stand-alone programming for PBS. Dr. Shumow was named to the inaugural group of research fellows at the Miami Urban Futures Institute, where he was examining the impact of climate gentrification and media coverage on communities most vulnerable to sea level rise in Miami.
Unfortunately, Dr. Shumow died in 2019 in a tragic bicycling accident. We honor his memory through our continued work.
