Discover Top Sound Mixers in Paterson, New Jersey, USA

I'm and independent documentary producer/director, originally from London and now based in NYC. My debut feature 'Comrades' (2008) played in film festivals around the world before being broadcast by the BBC as well as Europe. I'm currently editing my next feature -'The Method and the Madness'- which is being produced by Met Film Production and follows 2 years at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. I'm also in development on two US projects - one focusing on the American South and race-related issues and another on teenage lovers who have found themselves caught in the nations complex web of sex offender laws. It should be clear from these diverse projects that I'm attracted to wildly different stories! My guiding interest is in strong characters who can carry complex/controversial narratives and my projects tend to be long-term, which allows me to build strong relationships with contributors and shoot in an observational style. As such, I generate a significant amount of footage (the majority of which ends up on the cutting-room floor) which could be used to create shorter pieces. I'm used to a journalistic style, having spent a year working on The Guardian newspaper's newsdesk.

Hello! My name is Justin McCallum and I'm a young, award-winning documentary film-maker and photojournalist who recently relocated to New York City after graduating from Tufts University. As a student of social justice, the stories that I feel most drawn to are those of structural violence and personal empowerment. I find narrative storytelling to be an effective way to report on pressing issues while maintaining impartiality and journalistic integrity. This is most greatly reflected by my long-form project 'The New Nuclear Family,' which follows four sets of LGBT parents over two years revealing the unique discrimination they face. I honed my skills under the guidance of visual storytellers including VII Photo Agencys founder Gary Knight, fine art photographers at the School for the Museum of Fine Arts, and multimedia journalists from The Boston Globe. Through this, I've been extensively trained in visual reporting and composition in addition to technical shooting and editing. I would be thrilled to join the diverse group of reporters and documentarians at Storyhunter to learn and grow as well as contribute ideas and my expertise.
