			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-15 alignleft" title="me" src="http://stephenmcfadden.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/me.jpg" alt="me" width="100" height="150" /> I was born and raised in Jackson, MS. After completing high school I attended <a href="http://www.usm.edu/index.php">University of Southern Mississippi</a> where I studied Radio TV and Film. This was my first introduction to my life&#8217;s creative calling. Here, I learned the core basics of  TV and video production. Around my junior year, I decided to leave USM to further study in-depth the art of film at <a href="http://www.fullsail.edu/">Full Sail Real World Education</a>. While at Full Sail I attained a true understanding of the film and video making process.  Full Sail gave me the confidence I needed to pursue my life goals in the media industry. After completing my Associate of Science degree in Film from Full Sail, I moved to NYC to continue my studies of entertainment and media by interning with <a href="http://www.bet.com/">Black Entertainment Television</a>.</p>
<p>Even though my stint with BET was not very long, I walked away with solid knowledge and understanding of the daily operations of a national televised show. My duties at BET included research and assisting in writing questions for <em>Rap City</em> and shadowing producers. Soon after BET, I found myself working as a Television Coordinator for <a href="http://www.ncl.com/nclweb/home.html">Norwegian Cruise Line</a> shooting and editing cruise activities. After extensively traveling throughout the Caribbean, I then decided to further my education by returning to Full Sail where I received my Bachelors of Science in Entertainment Business. During my time studying Entertainment Business I learned an array of invaluable professional and business skills such as marketing, management and new media as it relates to business. Those skills gave me the foundation I needed to be able to work independently and as a leader.</p>
<p>Soon after finishing my education at Full Sail, I found myself interning and freelancing on various projects until 2006 when I decided to go back to working in the cruise line industry. I then spent the next two and half years working for <a href="http://www.royalcaribbean.com/">Royal Caribbean International</a> as a Broadcast Tech on board several ships domestically and internationally.  During my time on ships, I really honed my videography and photography skills.  In between then and my current profession I did a short stint as a secretary in the production office for <a href="http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/miami-ink/miami-ink.html">TLC&#8217;s <em>Miami Ink</em></a>.</p>
<p>In my most recent role, I work as a Rich Media Developer for <a href="http://www.milesmedia.com/">Miles Media Group</a> where I spent most of my time traveling, shooting and editing tourism videos primarily for <a href="http://visitflorida.com/">Visit Florida.com</a>. That role allowed me to shoot and edit videos for Louisiana, Colorado, San Antonio and New Hampshire. I was blessed to have had one of the best jobs out there.</p>
<p>Currently, I am a full time freelance videographer.</p>
