Discover Top Documentary DPs in Anaheim, California, USA

I have been a freelance journalist in Hong Kong for four years. I was an anchor for NHK World, the international English channel of Japan's public broadcaster in HK. In addition to anchoring, I have produced many TV reports, most of them are finance-related. I have also co-produced a few documentaries featuring the social problems in contemporary China, such as children trafficking and cancer villages. I relocated to Taiwan and started to work for a media company full time in 2013. It is a new experience for me and I would like to document this interesting city with camera. I think this is a place that's under appreciated and has many hidden stories that are just waiting to be told. I'm interested in covering cultural and artistic stories, as well as politics and social issues.

The aim of my work is to empower communities by connecting their stories. I’ve traveled to the most remote corners of the U.S. filming the impacts of climate change on human lives – families in Arkansas rebuilding after an oil spill, a small town in California’s central valley running out of water. I documented the United Nations conference on climate change in Paris and flew over the Alberta Tar Sands, giving voice to a First Nations community living downstream from one of the worst ecological disasters in the world. Past clients include The New York Times, Segal Family Foundation, Tom Steyer, Sir Richard Branson, American Way Magazine, NextGen America, and Barack Obama's 2012 campaign.

From shooting atop 350-ft tall wind turbines to inside caves to the jungles of Central America, I have done a lot of interesting work in some unique situations. I have 12+ years experience as a filmmaker, where I've learned how to do nearly everything myself, including shooting, editing, motion graphics, writing scripts, and presenting/hosting on camera. I have ridden my bicycle across America (twice), creating videos to promote bicycle travel, and have created a 10-episode web series using nothing but stock media. I shoot a lot of nature stock footage with cinema cameras, and create filmmaking tutorials.
