I started working as a crime reporter in Rome, Italy, more than 10 years ago. Then I moved to Milan where I was a staff writer at Mediaset and then at Corriere della Sera, the largest daily in Italy. In the seven years I worked at the newspaper I was first covering education for the metro section. When I moved to the online section I covered breaking news as well as social conflict and riots in Italy and Europe. I also reported from Iran and Cuba. In 2013 I produced an award winning documentary Capulcu Voices from Gezi about the protest in Istanbul in Turkey. Also in 2013 I won a full scholarship to attend the MA in Journalism concentration Politics at Columbia University. I graduated in May 2014.

Greetings. I am a filmmaker recently relocated to Brooklyn from Ventura, CA where I studied visual journalism at Brooks Institute. Though I enjoy creating short narratives and music videos, documentary is my passion. I get a great deal of satisfaction from exploring the world around me and by sharing the uncommon or overlooked aspects of humanity. I have worked on several short films involving the homeless, focusing on what it means to be human and a part of society. I have also began shooting for a doc feature about the serious pollution problems plaguing the air and the people of Salt Lake City, which was recently crowned the most polluted city in the world. I am also in preproduction for a documentary about the loss of culture through civilization in Mexico. Though the subjects and locations that I shoot vary greatly, I feel that each of these stories NEED to be communicated for the greater good of humanity. Whether for social change or historical purposes, we can share the world for what it is today. And I look forward to learning more about the local documentary/journalism scene in NYC. Cheers! Cole writer/director/producer at Gravity Free Productions

I'm a documentary filmmaker of over 15 years, that seeks to lend my skills to those that are making change, but who's voices may not be heard. Through my lens, these stories can be shared with the rest of the world and hopefully, access the needed funds, assistance, support, or recognition they need/deserve to make the change that is needed. My projects have taken me from Afghanistan to Haiti to Wall Street to The Rockaways after Hurricane Sandy. In all these stories, there is one common thread and that is hope.....hope for a better world and a belief in humanity, that a better world IS possible. In addition to social justice documentaries, I also like to focus on character driven stories...about unique characters -- that by their personalities, lifestyles, or art, are impacting this world or their community, making it a better, more beautiful and inspiring place.
