Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy had the pleasure of hosting a number of enlightening and influential guests this year, including actor/writer/director Harold Ramis, documentarian Ken Burns, Pixar animator Warren Trezevant, musician Rhymefest, and many others. This week, we continue the tradition by bringing in two more storytellers to campus to speak to our students and share their experience.

As a part of Tribeca Flashpoint’s Jumpstart Speaker Series, ChronicBabe.com’s founder and editrix Jenni Prokopy is speaking today about her personal journey living with—and making a life out of—chronic illness. This will be Jenni’s second visit to campus, and we’re all looking forward to sharing her story with this new class of digital media artists.

Also today, Tribeca Flashpoint’s Recording Arts students will welcome folk singer/songwriter Catie Curtis. Those of us who have ever had the [perhaps guilty] pleasure of following such shows as Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, Alias, Chicago Hope, or Grey’s Anatomy are familiar with Catie’s insightful lyrics and contagious melodies. On Friday, Tribeca Flashpoint will capture her live for an in-studio recording session and Q&A.

Two great guests capping off another great week at Tribeca Flashpoint—all the more reason to thank God it’s Friday!
