My name is Rosa Amanda Tuirán and I am a Mexican documentary filmmaker, photographer and investigative journalist based in the Bay Area. I received my Master of Journalism from UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism in May 2020. I worked as a News Video Fellow at BuzzFeed News and was a National Association of Hispanic Journalists Fellow at CBS News in 2019. In March 2020, I was part of the COVID-19 reporting project with the Investigative Reporting Program and The New York Times to help meet the need for comprehensive reporting on how the Covid-19 crisis affected California. After graduating, I worked on a PBS Frontline investigation, and have continued to pursue independent work about climate change and insecurity in Mexico. In November 2020, I published an investigation in The Counter about a meatpacking plant in Southern California that illustrates the national failure of OSHA to protect workers. Longreads recently included the piece in their best COVID-19 reporting of 2020. This year I worked as a series Producer for OceanX about the wonders of the ocean and those who explored it and I produced a Ford Foundation-funded podcast series about the murder of journalists in Mexico.

I am a documentary filmmaker, directing feature length documentary films. I have been working with social justice groups to create media to tell their stories for 12 years. I have produced hundreds of short videos to be shared online. I have been creating media around worker's strikes, election campaigns, etc so I am used to producing videos on tight deadlines. Much of the work I do has a press component; I often provide interviews, photos & broll reels to press. In 2010 when my work supporting immigrant rights communities in my home state of Arizona drew national coverage, I began getting freelance assignments for radio, PBS Jorge Gestoso Investiga, CNN Espanol, NBC National, TeleSur, Democracy Now, Bill Moyers and Al Jazeera's Faultlines (line production). I am an editor so I capture professional video/ audio with all of the components to tell a story. I came to video journalism through advocacy media but I understand the difference.

I am from Milan, Italy, and I immigrated to the US in 2009. In Milan, I achieved my bachelor's in Advertising as a copywriter then won a grant to join one of the finest film companies at the time, Central Productions. After a few steps in commercials, I joined a Post facility (Rumblefish) where I worked as an AVID editor (commercials, documentaries, TV Shows, you name it) in the pioneering years of NLE, the mid-'90s. After three years immersed in Post, I began to freelance and merge my advertising studies with my tech skills. I evolved professionally as a writer, video, and convention director across Europe for Fortune 50, as well as filming documentary footage in Tibet. Relocating to the US was a major change in my life. I went through a long immigration process and health challenges. From the time I arrived in the US to the time I received a life-changing green card, I endured years of unemployment due to Visa restrictions, and battled cancer at the bone marrow while being a stay-at-home dad to my newborn daughter. Such experiences shaped my approach to work in new ways– I’ve learned the literal meaning of resilience, increased my empathy, and try to make days meaningful and joyful. In 2016, I wrote and directed my first US short film called Thank You Rebbe. In 2017, at the age of 44, I received my green card and returned to collaborating and volunteering with film projects. Soon, I was helping nonprofits meet their filmmaking needs, and in 2018, I accepted a full-time position as a video director at the Jewish United Fund of Chicago. The first project I wrote and produced was a video raising awareness about anti-Semitism in the US. In 2020, I received a Silver Telly Award and a Midwest EMMY nomination for this video. In 2021, my short film Thank You Rebbe won the Best Jewish Film Award at the Cannes World Film Festival - Remember The Future competition. My professional expertise includes developing creative strategy, managing creative and production teams, and developing content for Arts, Broadcast, Corporate, Entertainment, and Non-Profit initiatives. My passion for storytelling led me to wear multiple hats, from founding niche social networks to directing videos and conventions. I love to travel and have developed projects in China, the Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Tibet, and the USA.

My name is Michael, and I am a mid 30s photographer and World Wanderer. My photography journey started as a hobby, primarily learning my way around a DSLR by shooting landscapes around my home in San Francisco, California. Soon, I started accepting paid assignments, from commercial ad campaigns to weddings, but my passion for traveling with camera in hand was too great to ignore. I started visiting locations all over the globe, documenting not only the beautiful landscapes of the countries I visited, but also the lives of the local communities. I quickly fell in love with the travel and photojournalism genres of photography and was desperate to recreate that incredible rush. I have been lucky to lead workshops and document the lives of the people in Nicaragua, Peru, Jordan, Cambodia and India. I have also documented the work of elephant sanctuaries in Thailand, who aim to end the ugly and cruel business of elephant tourism.

I have worked on projects ranging from independent feature films to short documentary series to corporate explainers.
