There are many visionaries of film and sophomore Bella Mendiola hopes to be just as influential as directors such as John Hughes and Chris Colfer. She has gotten ahead of the game by already producing her own short films which she believes can relate to people because they center around topics that most are too afraid to talk out loud about. This year as a part of CNTV staff she hopes to connect her passion for film to the world of broadcasting by incorporating the drama of her films to make her news stories stand out.  She is eager to learn the stories of students who have overcome great conflicts and share their journey with the school. Bella is able to get her start on impacting lives in broadcast now but hopes to move on to finishing products that can leave a distinct mark for decades to come.
