Kevin Kim, a senior student at LangleyB次元官网网址檚 Walnut Grove Secondary School, is off to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics on assignment by Proctor & Gamble.
This opportunity will have the Grade 12 student interviewing and photographing Korean athletes, while also filming P&G sponsored events.
Kevin left Feb. 15 and the Times had a chance to interview him while he waited at Vancouver Airport for his flight to South Korea.
Kevin will spend 12 days interviewing athletes and being on site documenting the Games to create promotional videos for Proctor & Gamble.

Besides having won multiple film contests and awards, having an exceptional eye for graphic design and even running a wedding videography side business, he now can add Olympic photographer/videographer to his resume.
KevinB次元官网网址檚 video production teacher Ryan Radford said he wasnB次元官网网址檛 surprised his student was chosen for such a prestigious assignment, even at such a young age.
B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 one of the most impressive digital artists IB次元官网网址檝e ever had the opportunity to work with. From videography to motion graphics to graphic design, photography, website design and beyond, everything he does is beyond anything normally expected of a high school student,B次元官网网址� said Radford.
B次元官网网址淭he work he produces is already at industry-level, and I have no doubt he could get a great career in any of these fields.B次元官网网址�
