WHO IS PAYTON CONWAY?
Hey there! I'm Payton Conway and I'm an aspiring videographer and storyteller. Since August 2018, I've been interning at NFL Films in the Producers Department. While at NFL Films, I've been pretty busy: I've edited promos as well as a segment for the NFL Network staple, NFL Top 10, assisted stage managers and on-air talent live on set during Good Morning Football broadcasts, assisted ground camera crew during NFL games, and assisted and collaborated with producers on their shows through research for archival footage and logging of footage.
My other professional work experience includes: two years as a member of the Big South Broadcast Crew broadcasting over 300 hours of Division I athletics events, writing for The Rotunda, Longwood's student-run newspaper as as a features reporter and later Features Editor, and two years as Executive Producer producer of Rotunda Studios, our bi-weekly news program.
​
I'm looking to continue my career in the sport media industry, as I'm a big fan of all types of sports, but I hold a special place in my heart for football, professional wrestling, and MMA.
What can you expect should you hire me?
A hard, dedicated worker who knows what they want out of life and I'm not afraid to go get it. I can sell, write, tweet, get in front of the camera as well as operate it and I can edit a creative story too.

The content you'll see on this website is by no means the only things on my reel, work from my current position at NFL Films, will become available upon request after my internship concludes in February 2019.
