Takeaway:
I knew very little about ultimate Frisbee, and I was excited to get an inside perspective on how it is played competitively. Nightshade is a perfect example of team unity. It was such an inclusive group, and it was clear that the members greatly value mentorship. They supported each other, weren't afraid to make mistakes, and treated every moment as a learning experience, inspiring me to do the same. I learned things about myself as a producer and editor that I could have only learned from working with such a cooperative team.
