ALUMNI NEWS: Isaiah Gomez
Isaiah Gomez, a 2019 East Brunswick Magnet School digital film graduate, has returned to the district as part of the new External Affairs Department and is in charge of video and still photography and film editing.
“I’ve always wanted to work in marketing and do visual media,” he said. “It’s exciting to be back and to have a job where I’m doing something I like to do.”
Isaiah is working part time while attending Montclair State University as a film and television major.
A Perth Amboy resident, he has experience photographing dance and theater performances, and some of his short films have been chosen for screening at prestigious film festivals.
He credits instructor Louis Libitz with bringing an artistic sensibility as well as technical knowledge to the East Brunswick Magnet School digital film program.
“I think he took the program to another level,” he said.
Mr. Libitz also helped Isaiah get his first freelance job, coaching him to obtain his license as a drone pilot. Isaiah has taken pictures of Magnet Schools graduations from aloft for the last three years.
