“Cambio Climático” is the first climate change documentary, fully in Spanish, focused on the implications in the Hispanic population of the United States. This in-depth documentary aired in all the Telemundo Owned Stations across the United States, which was the first time a local TV station had the opportunity to lead such an important project.

Hispanics are among the most impacted by climate change, since a large percentage of this demographic group tends to perform outdoor jobs in construction, landscaping, agriculture, among others. The show covers climate change implications on the economy, environment, weather, and the Hispanic population, making the topic appealing to a demographic group that is among the most impacted. “Cambio Climático” is the first of its kind in an impending crisis that is affecting all of us.

Twice a year, KSL produces a host of documentaries to air during The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' conference weekend. "Heroes in Disguise" focused on how one Utah organization is using mascots to improve the lives of kids with terminal illnesses. The first two minutes of the documentary were treated by a graphic artist at KSL. The same artist created the titles that you see before each section as well as the end credits. The rest of the story I photographed and edited myself, including the photo collage effects you see throughout the story.
