15:41 PearlTV Episode 2: Travel, STN Wins, and Staff Spotlight Featured

PearlTV is back for its first episode of 2026! Anchors Marina and Zarina kick off Episode 2 with three standout stories that celebrate student creativity and campus community.

First, Video Production student Brandon Gamez-Molina takes viewers on a virtual travelog to Guatemala, created with green screen and impressive editing—featuring culture, landscapes, and plenty of food.

Next, PearlTV shares major news from the Student Television Network (STN) Challenge, an international, deadline-driven competition where students have just six days to produce film and broadcast projects. This year, Daniel Pearl Magnet High School earned two awards: Second Place in the Short Film Challenge and Honorable Mention in the Silent Film Challenge—making DPMHS the only LAUSD school to win an award in the competition. The episode showcases the award-winning films Mixed Signals (directed by Serena Elkins and Mose Judge-Glascock) and Wishful Thinking (directed by Sebastian Nesh, with cinematography and editing by Mateo Zazueta).

The episode also features a Staff Spotlight with reporter Ethan Sharifi, who interviews Ms. Ruiz about her work as a climate advocate on campus and beyond. Before signing off, Marina and Zarina remind students that Teacher of the Year nominations are now open via the QR code on screen or the Schoology posting.

Catch the full episode—and stay tuned for an upcoming PearlTV feature interview with the student filmmakers behind the STN award-winning projects!
