Manx Taiki Magyar
Raised on these Sandwich beaches from Kindergarten to Sandwich High Graduation, I made my way to Boston. There I graduated Cum Laude from Northeastern University in 2014 with a duel major in Cinema Studies/Communication and a minor in Video Production. During my time there I had opportunities to work in New York City and Boston; from reality TV to commercials to public access. But through my own independent work and freelance, I further cultivated my love and experience in the video production. After university, I moved to Japan to explore more of my cultural heritage, and continue pursing visual development independently. I recently completed a cross-continental video documentary traveling from Tokyo, Japan to Lisbon, Portugal without airplanes. Now I am back where I started working with the wonderfully and creatively fueled Sandwich Community TV, continuing my journey into the visual and audio landscape.
Ryan Hill
Ryan has lived in Sandwich for most of his life, recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and is super excited to bring his love of broadcasting to the SCTV team! In his time in the Pioneer Valley, Ryan was heavily involved with the UMass Theater Department as a scenic designer, light and sound technician, and performer. Since graduating with a degree in theater and English as well as a Masters in Education, Ryan has worked as a camp counselor and outdoor educator in California as well as a teacher and substitute teacher at home in Massachusetts! Recently, Ryan completed three cross-country driving trips, where he travelled over 12,000 miles, visited over 25 states, explored ten National Parks, and ate more Denny’s Grand Slams than can be counted. When not at the studio, you can probably find Ryan shouting songs into a microphone somewhere.
Payson Titcomb, Editor
“Born and raised on Cape Cod, Ive always had a passion for the ocean. My younger brother and I have run ice cream boats on several bays around the Cape since high school. After graduation, I my way to the “Big Apple” for an undergrad at Fordham University, majoring in communications. I took a job for Tesla Motors right out of school, where I learned the good and the bad of being in sales. After a few years of that I pulled my focus back to my seasonal ice cream business and joined Sandwich TV in the off season. At Sandwich TV I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with some incredibly creative minds to design and produce videos for local business’s, non profits, and community organizations.”
