I apply as part of the the POV Call for Filmmakers to pitch short documentary projects on black-male achievement. I am a documentary filmmaker passionate about stories about people with tunnel vision so passionate they can think of nothing else as possible for their lives. I have filmed rappers, prisoners, painters, and patients with Alzheimers. Since the age of 15 when a high school teacher put a camera in my hands, I have been filming. I am most known for Nobody Knows My Name, the first documentary about women in hip hop, and for Freestyle the Art of Rhyme, which I filmed and co-edited, which aired on VH1. Currently, I teach production and have been making films with my students since 2009. Two projects filmed before my prof life inspire my pitches for PBS: The Path To Power: I Self-Devines Sounds of Low Class Amerika, a short about community activist, rapper, and aerosol artist Chaka Mkali who works developing power with kids in the inner city South neighborhoods in Minneapolis. And, an uncompleted documentary currently being worked into a web-based transmedia project, focused on the Stillwater Poetry filmed for 8 months inside of a mens prison in Stillwater, Minnesota.

In 2019 I decided to leave my home country, Ukraine, and move to the US to pursue a career in film. I attended Savannah College of Art and Design for a Film and Television degree but always strived to get as much experience as I could on various sets and work opportunities. Despite little experience at the time, I quickly realized I had a great passion for directing. My biggest achievement up to now is a short film I have directed called "Glory to the Nation", which ultimately brought me 3 Student Emmy Awards and is still in the festival circuit. I have also discovered I strive in the grip and electrical department and genuinely enjoy gaffing jobs of any scale. I have worked on various projects including short and feature films, TV shows, commercials, fashion photography, and music videos. I co-own an equipment rental company called PYX Studios, which offers a great amount of camera and lighting equipment, enough for maintaining any smaller-scale productions.

Hi, I’m BJ Adkins, award winning videographer and graphic designer based in Dothan, AL. Prior to entering into the video, I've had 12 years graphic design experience, 35 years photography and 10+ years computer systems administrator experience (Mac, PC, Linux, Solaris). Once I started the video and multimedia, I fell in love with video, filmmaking – the entire process. I pretty much eat, sleep and dream video. I’m detail oriented and somewhat a perfectionist. My primary goal is to produce the best content for my “client”, regardless of where they are from. I consider everyone I am creating a video for a client – businesses, individuals or groups. And I employ the same sequence to all of them so that I can reproduce professional results every time from concept to finished product. This includes filming, sound, actors, scripts – every part of the process. I would be honored and excited to have the opportunity to film and edit videos and all the other related duties with other team members at the HOTH. I’m able to work alone or in teams and work on tight deadlines. My prior experiences as supervisor, team leader, and business owner has carried over into my film making. I take a lot of pride in every video I have my name on, in any capacity.

I'm Kyle Sklenar, a commercial and documentary Writer, Director, and Editor, with an aptitude for Comedy and Adventure. I've written for NBCUniversal's Holiday campaign, The Walking Dead's 10th Season Promo, and a handful of spots for Dish Network. I love directing, it's in my bones. Two stories for another day: I've directed a Super Bowl commercial in 2020 for a total budget of $10,000 with only one week to go from concept to master delivery. I've also convinced Kroger to build an entire game show set in the middle of the produce department of an active store. And as an editor, I've gotten my 10,000 hours. I started out in post, learning from Emmy award winning directors on the right (and sometimes wrong) way to do things. I've cut for AMC, NBCUniversal, Amazon, Disney, Toyota, Dish Network, The Utah Jazz, etc etc All in all, I know story. I know humor. And I know adventure. Let's work together and make a lasting impact on the world around us, while having some fun along the way.

I’m Raney O’Keefe, a makeup artist & hairstylist living in Atlanta, GA. I moved here from my home in the Pacific Northwest in 2006 with a diploma in makeup artistry from The Blanche MacDonald Centre for Applied Design in Vancouver, BC. My 20-ish years previous were spent ensconced in the theatre world. (Yep-big, fat, wonderful, cheesy musicals!). I spend a tremendous amount of my time traveling the world (most often with my amazing adventuresome husband) and this experience bleeds deeply into my approach as an artist, as well as a service provider. I definitely discover really cool products and regimens that are authentic to certain areas that I travel to. But extensive travel has also really sharpened my ability to pay attention with all my senses. So I listen better, look more closely, try harder, and have more curiosity and tolerance for diversity. My eyes and ears and heart are open wide. And that’s something I bring back home to my work, and to you.

After graduating from Kansas State University in December 2013 with a B.A. in Journalism and Digital Media, I immediately moved to Birmingham, AL, to pursue work as a freelance cinematographer and editor. In January 2014, I began freelancing with Alabama Public Television to help provide engaging, educational content to the citizens of Alabama. I now work full-time with APT as a Documentary Production Specialist, but I continue to freelance as a film director, photographer, and documentarian. My interest lies in bridging cultural gaps in a historically segregated region by documenting the experiences of those living in low-income areas through photography and film/video. I take a personal interest in the historical, political, and economic circumstances that have contributed to and continue to fuel segregative action in the South. Through documenting both the catalysts and results of educational, economic, and social inequalities, I hope to contribute to a global understanding of them.
