1 reviewFor more than a decade I have worked as a field producer and journalist covering stories in the U.S. and overseas, including the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. Right now I am a freelance multimedia journalist/reporter based in New York City, but I am happy to travel for an assignment. I shoot, produce, write, report, voice and edit packages, including hard news and feature stories. My most recent long-term field assignment was on the campaign trail for U.S. Election 2020 to cover Joe Biden and his presidential victory. I also traveled during the height of COVID-19 last year to California and Ohio to conduct interviews for a production company in the health care space. As a freelance journalist, I have covered the United Nations for networks like Al Jazeera and i24NEWS. When massive protests broke out in Puerto Rico in 2019, I was one of the first mainland journalists to arrive on the island to cover the “forgotten Americans” amid a political crisis. I did live reports and was on-air for back-to-back coverage for i24NEWS and Cheddar News. I recently wrote an article for the Christian Science Monitor that looks at how racial groups are uniting in solidarity against anti-Asian hate crimes and what that means for social justice movements like #StopAsianHate and #BlackLivesMatter. I have also written for the Daily Dot on topics such as the Trump administration's attacks on Planned Parenthood; white privilege; and the role of social media in Puerto Rico's demonstrations.

1 reviewAt 13 i was the paperboy in port of Athens, Greece. At 18 i was reading Paul Virilio trying to understand mass media & communication theories for college degree. At 19 i was reporting live on news radio. At 20 i was told i should drop radio for live TV. For next 6 years my news reporting repertoire spanned anything from an elephant's birthday to Athens street gangs violence, to dead sea lions to Middle East conflict zones and Olympic Games. One day i was told i should drop reporting for hosting breaking news. After a year of reading the teleprompter under intense studio lights (it felt like chicken broiler) at age 26 i moved to New York. At 28 i finished my photojournalism studies at ICP in NY. At 29 i signed as the NY Bureau Chief for ERT / Hellenic Broadcasting Corp. At 35 i founded IFFI Productions and Old Garage Studio in Brooklyn. Been around the globe few times and seems that i can't escape NYC. Cheers.

1 reviewJosh advises on creative for The Democrats. He served in the Obama Administration as Director of Digital Strategy for the Department of Labor with Tom Perez. Josh directed videos to help Tom win the DNC Chair race. Josh also was the Digital Video Director for the DNC Convention in Philly– which until helping a lot of campaigns win in Virginia this November, was also the last time he felt truly happy. Josh’s commitment to telling the narrative of the field has taken him to 47 states. He hopes you can help him get to the final three, and you’re welcome to guess what they are. Josh is just your run-of-the-mill Asian Jew from Tulsa, OK. He produced digital content for both Obama campaigns and was part of the initial team at Tom Steyer’s NextGen Climate/America/Everything. As Content Director, he traveled the path of the Keystone XL pipeline and told the plight of people across America affected by climate issues. After producing content for 7 races in the 2014 midterms, he took time off from face-punching climate deniers to conceive and carry out a citizen-empowering documentary on rising sea levels in the Maldives. This Bourdain-style travel series focuses on the human face of climate change around the world. LAST GLIMPSE has screened at conferences, universities, and Soho Houses across the U.S. PBS has expressed serious interest in running a full season – the whole experience has been very awesome. Josh usually doesn’t write in the 3rd person, so he tries to have fun with it. And honestly, would you prefer some stock LinkedIn dribble? Josh has produced work shared by National Geographic, The New York Times, TIME, Variety, The Washington Post, @BarackObama, @HillaryClinton, the Crooked Media guys – and a lot of other people that tweet better than the sitting President.

I have an excellent knowledge of the industry, as well as a proven track record of running a company and managing staff, projects and budgets. I have lived and worked in many different countries, all over the world, producing anything from news and feature stories, to sport, to branded content and everything in between. My experience overseas has given me a truly unique perspective on global current affairs and has fostered a deep interest in exploring every story I come across from as many different perspectives as I can see. I also have experience of working in conflict zones, covering major riots in China in 2008 and 2009, and I was in Libya for one month, during the fall of Tripoli, working for APTN. I have also covered several natural disasters, including the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake and flooding in Southern China. As well as possessing exceptional writing skills, my work in TV and new media, has given me a unique skill set, enabling me to get a message out to the widest possible audience, in the most engaging way and often to a tight budget. Working as a video journalist/producer, I have acquired further skills as a story-teller. I am an excellent lighting cameraman and video editor, filming on a wide range of cameras and formats and able to script and edit to tight deadlines. I am also a skilled Steadicam operator, with my own rig, suitable for most requirements.
