Chris Bivins is one of the youngest full time producers at Black Entertainment Television ( BET ). In high school he enrolled in a television class where he learned the basics of film production and he decided to pursue a major in film at SU . As a musician in college he capitalized on You Tube to create music videos where he caught the attention of BET and landed a job as a performing artist on the BET college tour . From there he created a Vlog to showcase what tour life was really like . BET took an interest in the blog and allowed him to turn it into an official web series which lead to another web series and then a freelance position . Chris was very lucky to fall into his dream job , but he reminds people that it never could have happened if he wasn ’ t prepared for the great opportunities that came his way .
