May Proctor
Filmmaker and Journalist: Capturing stories in action
About Me
Follow @mayproctorprojects on Instagram or connect with me on LinkedIn.
My name is May Proctor, and I am a student at UNC-Chapel Hill, majoring in Media and Journalism and minoring in Geology.
I have created both long-form and short-form content for PBS North Carolina, WXII 12 (an NBC affiliate), the Daily Tar Heel (UNC’s student newspaper) and Sports Xtra, a student sports broadcast.
I am interested in emotion-driven storytelling at the intersection of sports and art. Also, I firmly believe in collaboration between the creation and curation of high-quality short-form social media and long-form video content.
I deeply enjoy harnessing the power of telling behind-the-scenes stories through video to drive fan bases and public interest.

Other Experiences
In March of 2025, I was selected as Sail GP Team New Zealand's intern for the Los Angeles Grand Prix. As a passionate sailor and creator of sports media, this was the ultimate learning experience.
I was able to learn from world-class sailors about the behind-the-scenes of professional sporting events. I was trusted with working on the boat and acting as a support team member. I also gained invaluable experience seeing how sports media functions from inside the team organization.
