We kick off Season 3 of The Genius Hour: Voices of Indianapolis with filmmaker and entrepreneur Deonna Weatherly . After graduating into the uncertainty of the 2020 pandemic, Deonna didn't wait for a job offer; she created her own. In this episode, our first-year Principles of Broadcasting students sit down with the founder of The Weatherhouse Company and the Indiana Youth Film Festival to discuss the power of self-reliance. Deonna shares how childhood storytelling with Barbie dolls evolved into a mission to keep creative talent right here in Indiana. We also dive into her vital work with the Weatherhouse Institute , where she is actively changing the face of the film industry by creating space and mentorship for young creatives.
