Discover Top Sound Mixers in Edison, New Jersey, USA

I am a professional deadline beater and a multimedia journalist. I wanted to become a journalist because I was always asking questions. By the time, I finished my MA in International Relations at Kings College London, I knew I was wrong. But it was too late by then. So I cut my teeth freelancing for the Times of India in Calcutta, and then spent four years with Business Standard, an Indian financial daily. I was the newspapers Southeast Asia correspondent, based out of Singapore, and most recently, a special correspondent (and multimedia dogsbody) in New Delhi. I attended the Multimedia Journalism programme at the Konrad Adenauer Asian Center for Journalism at the Ateneo de Manila University in 2012-13. My video work has appeared on The Economists website, TheAtlantic.com and Quartz. Currently, I spent time as a Fulbright scholar at Columbia Universitys Graduate School of Journalism, where I still ask questions regularly. I'm interested in stories about people, stuck in unusual personal, political or economic predicaments.

As a dedicated documentary director and cinematographer, I bring important questions and ideas to my audience and allow them to examine an issue as if they are experiencing it themselves. I will be very grateful for the opportunity to put the best of my creative and technical abilities to work for story hunter and the issues examined. I have over four years experience in film-making and television production including, documentary film, camera operation for local television news, and production and post-production work for independent feature film. My professional experience has taught me to be absolutely dedicated to a story and take it through to completion in spite of any challenges that arise. Sometimes hard work can reveal subtleties not readily apparent at first viewing, but which are expressed through the creative process. I am most passionate about finance, environmental issues, human interest stories, and political topics.

Dear Carlos, My name is Mark Zemel. I worked at Pitchfork TV for the last five years as a Series Producer and Editor, but recently left to go freelance full time. Pitchfork is a fairly small production operation which means I handled all aspects of producing content. I pitched, produced, directed, shot, edited and animated content on tight budgets and tight timelines. Since leaving Pitchfork I've worked for ABC, The New Yorker, PBS Digital Studios, The Fader, and Paste Magazine. At Pitchfork I directed and edited a number of documentaries, including The Queen Diva from earlier this year which is a Special Selection at the 2013 ASVOFF Film Festival in Paris. I was also the Series Producer for the +1 series. I would pitch the bands to cover, crew the shoot, direct it, interview the bands and edit on an extremely tight timeline. I produced over 50 episodes of that series and theyve since gotten over 2 million views. While doing that I also directed and edited several other documentaries, multiple sessions, and was the exclusive editor and artist for the Over/Under series. My reel can be viewed on my website, www.mlzml.com. Best, Mark Zemel

I master my skills every day by working part time as a camera operator and watching frame-by-frame those videos i consider to be masterpieces. Most of all i like reporting on socially important issues or inspiring character driven stories that might help to change one's life.

[Applying through POV] I've worked as a filmmaker and youth media educator for the past 15 years in New York, creating high-quality stories exploring innovative responses to chronic social issues: particularly primarily prison reform, economic justice, and urban education. After years freelancing for Time.com, Carnegie Hall, and directing a feature doc that was broadcast on PBS World in 2011, I've increasingly been returning to my roots as a youth media educator. My goal has been to cultivate young people into highly professional filmmakers who can produce stories with a freshness of perspective, and access to worlds that remain hidden to mainstream media. The current project "Echoes of Incarceration" works with youth with incarcerated parents. In its first year, the young filmmakers have already been hired as a professional crew for clients including Carnegie Hall, and we're now partnering with Sesame Workshop. We're currently in the final stages of editing our first three advocacy films.

I'm and independent documentary producer/director, originally from London and now based in NYC. My debut feature 'Comrades' (2008) played in film festivals around the world before being broadcast by the BBC as well as Europe. I'm currently editing my next feature -'The Method and the Madness'- which is being produced by Met Film Production and follows 2 years at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. I'm also in development on two US projects - one focusing on the American South and race-related issues and another on teenage lovers who have found themselves caught in the nations complex web of sex offender laws. It should be clear from these diverse projects that I'm attracted to wildly different stories! My guiding interest is in strong characters who can carry complex/controversial narratives and my projects tend to be long-term, which allows me to build strong relationships with contributors and shoot in an observational style. As such, I generate a significant amount of footage (the majority of which ends up on the cutting-room floor) which could be used to create shorter pieces. I'm used to a journalistic style, having spent a year working on The Guardian newspaper's newsdesk.

Hello! My name is Justin McCallum and I'm a young, award-winning documentary film-maker and photojournalist who recently relocated to New York City after graduating from Tufts University. As a student of social justice, the stories that I feel most drawn to are those of structural violence and personal empowerment. I find narrative storytelling to be an effective way to report on pressing issues while maintaining impartiality and journalistic integrity. This is most greatly reflected by my long-form project 'The New Nuclear Family,' which follows four sets of LGBT parents over two years revealing the unique discrimination they face. I honed my skills under the guidance of visual storytellers including VII Photo Agencys founder Gary Knight, fine art photographers at the School for the Museum of Fine Arts, and multimedia journalists from The Boston Globe. Through this, I've been extensively trained in visual reporting and composition in addition to technical shooting and editing. I would be thrilled to join the diverse group of reporters and documentarians at Storyhunter to learn and grow as well as contribute ideas and my expertise.

A French-speaking multimedia journalist, I have been covering stories in India, Africa, France and North America and I would be thrilled to be a Storyhunter. I currently am a graduate student at New York University. I am passionate about hidden stories about seemingly normal people who are faced with extraordinary experiences, life stories or surprising things to tell. Being able to tell those stories is precisely what excites me about Storyhunter. As a one-woman-band field producer, videographer and photographer, I simultaneously photograph and film as I enjoy mixing mediums in my videos. Currently I am producing a project featuring different video portraits of women across the US, telling their personal stories to illustrate larger issues. My professional experiences have helped me to become an open-minded and curious reporter. I have interned at several television production companies in France and India. The time I spent in India particularly trained me to work, research, film, edit and adapt to almost any situation by myself and as part of a team. This experience also reinforced my passion for social issues, something that I believe would benefit in becoming a Storyhunter

I'm a native West Coaster, but lived in Israel for 7 years where I served in the IDF press office and then interned for an Israeli-Arab NGO. I got my undergrad in Israel in International Affairs and M.E. studies. I am now a part-timer in Columbia Journalism School specializing in broadcast, so I have full proficiency in camera use and editing as well as experience reporting. I have covered a broad spectrum of stories, mostly local news in school and worked on international stories when I interned this past fall with Richard Roth at CNN covering the UN. Ideally, I want to cover people affected by foreign conflicts and international political intrigue as well as more lighthearted cultural fare. At the end of the day I want to tell stories that are compelling, whatever the subject. I'm a fast learner, flexible and I do well under pressure so feel free to contact me if there is a story that needs to be told.
