Hi there. My name is Andrew Knight, I'm a freelance film maker based in Melbourne. Being such a multicultural city, I am always looking to tell stories about the diversity of the population of Melbourne in a broader sense, but in terms of specifics, there are just to many interesting things happening here to focus on one thing. I shoot stories on anything from local arts, theatre and electronic music, to engineering, politics, entertainment, film and events. My work also sees me travel overseas, I shot a documentary in India earlier in the year, and have produced material in the UK and Europe for Sky TV, as well as documentaries in Africa and the United States. I came across the Story Hunter website after reading an add in a local film and TV classifieds site, and am very keen to get involved.

I'm a videographer, reporter, producer, editor, adventurer and story teller with more than 15 years of media experience. I'm at my best behind the lens of a camera in places where stories are deeply human and complex. I've never picked easy assignments, reporting from countries including Cuba, India, Tanzania and outback Australia. Some say I have a knack for getting to the heart of people's stories. I've shot, produced and edited short documentaries, worked in major newsrooms in front and behind the lens, and led a team of newspaper reporters as they transitioned to making web videos. By far the most interesting stories for me are those that would not have been captured had there not been the right eyes to see it.
