I am a Mexican filmmaker, photographer and producer. My works range from Internet clips to full documentary series for networks such as; MTV, Discovery and Fusion Network. Furthermore, I have produced content in an array of video formats for brands like Google and Honda. Working in the industry for 10 years has provided me with the opportunity to hone my skills throughout the entire development process, from writing and storyboarding to directing and producing. I have often worked on multiple projects simultaneously, with that came the necessity to manage my own time and that of my teams effectively in order to meet tight deadlines. In 2013 I set up my own production company, Scopio, with the intention of seeking out social development projects in Latin America and Asia. My aim was to provide these projects with the communication tools necessary to further their goals and to make the wider public more aware and impassioned about issues that they cared for so deeply.

Uno llega al periodismo por el camino que menos se lo espera y cuando reacciona, ya no puede dejar de contar las historias que se van volviendo imprescindibles de narrar. La realidad se impone y las formas de contarla se multiplican. De esta forma lo que en un principio era la intención de contar las historias que proponía mi imaginación terminó siendo lo que la vida me ponía enfrente. Y así me volví reportero. Primero para prensa escrita y casi al mismo tiempo para televisión. Entonces cámara en mano salí a recorrer mi estado: Veracruz. Sin embargo el enamoramiento duró poco: la realidad de la censura y el embute fueron llevándome al hastío hasta que junto con otro amigo decidimos fundar un proyecto de video comunitario: Teocelo Te Ve, junto con una de las radios comunitarias más perseverantes de México, Radio Teocelo. Los caminos me llevaron a una corresponsalía nacional y ahora desde el Distrito Federal y después de cubrir la fuente de derechos humanos, decido volverme freelancer.

Hi everywhere. So, finally I did this! I'm writing this truly excited because since I knew about Storyhunter I just felt something good. There are not so many great news any given day, like the day I found this. I am Mexicano, from Monterrey. Twenty five years ago I came to back to Earth. I studied International Marketing which I hate since I was studying it, so when I finished I went to el sur del sur, Santiago de Chile to live for two years. I found myself liberated from the "hometown chains", started to do the real life walk and accepting myself which is not that hard once you are all alone by yourself and your camera. Since I was little I had this weird affection with videos and since then, it's a feeling I can't get with any other thing in this life. Sadly, I grew in a family situation where I couldn't just say that I was going to be a videographer til 2 years ago. I worked on a Video Production company in Santiago de Chile and I started as a Production Assistant. Now I'm back to Monterrey and we have a Productora where we are working harder to be la creme de la creme with differents projects. Congratulations guys, Storyhunters it's one of a kind and a hope vein.

Hi, my name is Arturo de la Peña. I am a journalist, multimedia producer and videographer from Mexico City. My current job title is Digital Media Director for H Grupo Editorial, which means I am in charge of producing all the video content for that media group. Since I am the only videojournalist in the group, I have no specific beat. This has made me produce music, sports, fashion, culture, and arts stories. Nevertheless, my major was in international commerce; plus, I have another degree in contemporary music composition. So, I feel very confident to produce news in these two topics mainly, but can cover almost everything. (To see my video CV, please go to this link http://youtu.be/17_d4uP_Oc0) The reason why I started to produce video in the first place was because I saw the Mexican Tiger Fighting for Rain God documentary by a Storyhunter! Since that moment, I knew what my next professional was. Becoming a storyhunter myself.

Im a freelance multimedia reporter covering Latin Americas rural sector. My work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Seattle Times, the Las Vegas Sun, Dow Jones Newswires, and other publications. Before I became an independent journalist, I covered commodities in Mexico, Central America and the Andean region for nearly three years as a correspondent for the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires. I spent time with cocoa growers, opium poppy producers, coffee smugglers, anti-mining activists and more. I like any stories that shed an unusual light on rural supply chains. The forests, mountains and lowland plantations where I do most of my reporting are rich in visual detail, and I always seek out stories that provide depth and context to mainstream ideas about the origins of our food and other products were consume. I look for the sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes uplifting tales behind our chocolate bars and our vanilla lattés, the strange histories that make incomprehensible the knowledge that our golden earrings or corn flakes are valued at a few dollars, rather than being priceless.

Hola, soy Salvador Cueva de Ensenada Baja California y actualmente vivo en Monterrey. Salí de mi ciudad por trabajo, ya que es una ciudad pequeña y no hay trabajo en las áreas que me gustan como fotografía y video o el trabajo no es bien pagado, es la razón que me tiene lejos de mi ciudad. Actualmente trabajo en una agencia de publicidad que se llama Menosunocerouno, soy fotógrafo y videógrafo, ya llevo 6 meses aquí. Mi sueño es documentar Ensenada y sus pueblos, gente, diversidad en flora y fauna, paisajes como desiertos, valles, bosques, sierras etc. Dar a conocer la ciudad ya que muchos mexicanos piensan que Ensenada es parte de USA. La primer historia que me gustaría contar es sobre Coco, un Sr. ya mayor que vive en medio de la nada, entre un pueblo llamado Cataviña y San Felipe. Es checkpoint de la Baja 1000, conocido como Coco´s Corner. Llegó hace muchos años y vive solo rodeado de un lugar muy peculiar, con el paso del tiempo ha perdido las 2 piernas debido a la diabetes, pero sigue siendo muy activo y feliz. Me gustaría contar su vida y aprovechar que está rodeado de un increíble paisaje. Deseo muchísimo poder trabajar en mi ciudad, ojalá me puedan ayudar.

Soy Rafa y quiero hacer cine; creo que la cámara es un instrumento mecánico que sirve para contar historias, al mismo tiempo que es un arma cultural de dos filos. El documental es para mi una herramienta técnica que captura pedazos de la realidad generando un espacio donde se perpetua la memoria activa de una sociedad. Es un ejercicio audiovisual y un viaje interior. Principalmente quiero hacer documentales que hablen de lo que otros callan. Quiero darle voz a la sociedad civil y quiero estar en los momentos de quiebre, rompimiento y cambio. Pienso que las ideas son fuertes cuando les llega su tiempo y me gusta vivir en una época donde todo cambia tan rápido por que me permite ver lo que prevalece. Actualmente trabajo y soy fundador en Mamuht Cinema una nueva casa productora en Guadalajara tengo experiencia en largometrajes, cortometrajes, videoclips, videos corporativoss, spots comerciales, documental y tv. Trabajando en los departamentos de fotografía/cámara, dirección, producción, edición y arte. Especialmente me he desarrollado en el departamento de Fotografía. Quiero ser un story-hunter para seguir contando historias de mi realidad. Muchas gracias y buen día.

I'm a 34 years old documentary filmmaker born and raised in Mexico City. Currently, I'm a student in the last semester of the master's degree in documentary filmmaking, taught at the University Center of Cinematographic Studies (CUEC) and the National School of Plastic Arts (ENAP), UNAM. I'm working on my thesis, which is a feature length documentary on water conflicts in Mexico City. I have produced documentary short films for the Culture Institute of Mexico City, about cultural development on areas with high levels of marginalization. I have also directed short documentary films that have been selected on national and international Film Festivals. Although I like documentary films based on subject's life stories, I think that when becoming a film, every theme and issue has his own narrative form that has to be found. I like to experiment with different styles, and find the one that better fits to tell a story. The topics that I like to work are related to environment, social development, arts, justice and collective memory; the stories that I like to tell are the ones that allow the audience to connect not only to local important issues, but also with universal emotions.

Me llamo Alfredo Garrido priego, soy una persona muy activa que busca formas de poder contar historias que nos rodean y que intentan reflejar la realidad del México de hoy en día. Considero que muchas personas y documentalistas pasan de largo muchas historias que nos rodean en la vida diaria y creo que esas historias merecen ser contadas (en todos los sentidos) y poder darles un lugar a esas personas he historias de ser contadas y mostradas al mundo. es importante mostrar una denuncia (positiva o negativa) de ciertos hechos y realidades que están pasando a nuestro al rededor, tanto políticas como sociales y naturales donde podamos mostrar una mirada lo mas objetiva posible de toda la realidad que nosotros como sociedad decidimos ignorar. Para mi es muy importante poder mostrarlo y en un espacio como este que me pueden dar la oportunidad de realizarlo y también mostrarlo a todo el mundo. espero poder lograrlo.

I just graduated from university with a degree in audio and visual production. I sold my car to buy some equipment and start my own career as a videomaker here in Mexico city. Now i'm working in the most important documentary film festival in Mexico named "Ambulante" and i've been colaborating with this festival since 2009, working as a production coordinator and recording video for "making off" and interviews with guests from many parts of the world. I've traveled from north to south of my country and i've seen tons of great stories waiting for someone to capture them with a camera and now i want to start telling this stories from my own perspective. Working in Ambulante has been a great chance to familiarize with the lenguage of documentary films, and i have developed a true passion for this kind of films, from political or massive events to very particular characters in society, i think there's always a great way to tell the story. Cheers!

Soy una persona que me gusta hablar sobre temas de cultura, sociedad, política y darle a entender al mundo lo que está sucediendo a su alrededor, los detalles que no alcanzan a divisar, esto creo que es necesario poder plasmarlo por medio de documentales e historias aunque sean cortas para dar ese impacto visual y emocional a la sociedad, este tipo de comunicación por medio de la producción audiovisual, es una de las herramientas más efectivas para dar un mensaje que llegue de forma rápida y que impacte al receptor. El tipo de historias que me gusta contar de forma artística, son aquéllas que demuestran la belleza del mundo que la gente muchas veces no ve por estar con el estrés cotidiano,a la vez me gusta contar historias que alarmen al público a realizar cambios sociales, puesto que hay personas en este mundo que necesitan un apoyo para que también puedan vivir de una forma digna y feliz. Los links que se demuestran abajo son de proyectos escolares donde estuve en producción en el equipo y uno de los links donde colaboré en una serie se llama "hoy soy nadie" participé con una televisora mexicana importante : Televisa, trabajando en departamento de producción, cámaras y arte.

Las imágenes en sí representan momentos de la vida capturados y congelados por la brevedad del tiempo,ya sea en vídeo o fotografía, esta pasión nos llevo a estudiar la carrera de comunicación, y transformar las ideas gestadas en el camino a realidades. Yucatán es un estado lleno de historia, tradición y folclor, pero también representa una cuna de necesidades de la gente de comunicar y de contar su historia, pese a ser hoy por hoy uno de los estados más pacíficos de México, en el estado también se sufre, se llora, se vive con pasión y se goza, la gente necesita hablar, y esas historias merecen ser vistas. Esta pequeña productora gestada desde tiempo atrás busca servir de vínculo para dar a conocer la historia de los habitantes, de las tradiciones, costumbres, injusticias y demás hechos relevantes para todos que se viven todos los días, y en la mayoría de las ocasiones pasan desapercibidos.
