Hi there, My name is Rachel White, and I'm a hardworking journalist who aspires to make the world a more inclusive, better place through my work. I am prepared to work tirelessly to tell untold stories and to learn from those around me.

My capstone documentary was nominated for a Chicago/Midwestern Emmy award in the long form, nonfiction category. I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with degrees in broadcast journalism and political science, as well as a minor in international relations in May 2014.

As an independent filmmaker, I have developed, co-directed and produced a number of projects for Al Jazeera English, NBC Nightly News, NBC News, The Guardian, and others. As a producer most recently at NBC Nightly News, I regularly produced original reporting, appearing on both TV and online and distributed across all NBC News' social platforms. Some of my work included a profile of a Palestinian sprinter on a mission to compete at the Rio Olympic Games; documentary features on Hurricane Katrina survivors and their fight to repair their battered homes a decade later amidst rampant contractor fraud and a profile of a group of New York's cop watchers. Additionally, I spearheaded NBC News' series coverage of the standoff at the Oceti Sakowin Camp in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, over the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline - contributing dozens of written articles, video features, exclusive scoops and live on-the-ground dispatches. Previously, I worked as a featured contributor for The Guardian US where I covered City Hall in New York City. My most consequential piece there was a months-long investigation into abuses within the city's foster care system. In the piece, I exclusively revealed for The Guardian a watchdog report administered by the New York City Public Advocate's Office that the city's Administration for Children's Services (ACS) had for years abused its power in family courts, wrongly taken children into custody and inadequately assisted those it claimed to help. The article, in addition to a subsequent class-action lawsuit on behalf of the victims, led to Gov. Andrew Cuomo announcing four major reforms to ACS in November 2015. Prior to The Guardian, I worked as a general assignment reporter at Quartz, the Atlantic Media’s global business news site, where I covered everything from the rise of the pro-marijuana legalization movement in the US to a series of features on the covert U.S. drone program and the companies and individuals most closely associated with it. My first job in journalism was as an Associate Producer for a special investigative documentary project, “Marijuana Wars” on the social, legal and moral implications of the nation’s 40-year War on Drugs, both in the US and in Latin America, and the rise of the marijuana legalization movement in the United States for “People and Power,” a long form investigative current affairs program broadcast weekly on Al Jazeera English.

I come from the humble midwest, finding myself in the heart of New York. With a dual degree in film and human rights, my career has been a push and pull between hollywood and non-profit organizations. I've worked with a number of film production companies and their big personalities, to local grassroots organizations with more passion than pocket money. As for now, I work as an Associate Producer at a documentary production company based in Brooklyn, while out of the office I spend my time in the hunt for stories. My tastes are simple. Rather than seek the most uniquely curious odd story yet to be publicly known, I ask what questions haven't been asked, and what perspectives haven't been told. I'm fascinated by the lady in my neighborhood who teaches piano to the deaf, while I contemplate the ants running single file up a blank wall. Letting my curiosity lead me, I start with one question and end with a million more.

I’m Timmy Schrader, and I’ve spent the last decade building a diverse career in Minneapolis, MN in the film industry. Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to take on many roles, but the goal was always to work behind the camera as the director of photography. My work has included a broad range of projects—commercials, feature films, music videos, Ect—where I strive to bring a unique touch to each one. Recently, I made the decision to move to NYC to explore new opportunities and collaborate with a New creative community. For me, being a DOP is about more than just working with cameras and lighting; it’s about collaboration and communication. I believe that the best visual storytelling happens when working closely with directors, producers, and other crew members to make sure the visuals align with the overall vision of the project. Through this collaborative approach, I aim to enhance the narrative while adding my own creative perspective.

Director, Photographer, DP/CameraOperator Content creator My mother was gifted a brownie camera by her brother prior to my having been born. It was then she began documenting every waking moment of life, and I was soon to follow. One of my earliest memories is of a light so bright it seemed like the sun shining straight into my eyes causing a bright start into this world. I now know that was the ‘movie light’ for her 8mm film camera. In High school, I thought taking photos and movies of everything was normal, and was often made fun of for it, until my classmates saw the prints then all wanted copies for themselves. I was an aspiring musician, taking my lunchtime to practice on a piano I didn’t have at home, and stayed after school everyday to do the same. To avoid advanced Algebra (I hated school) I was offered to join the Television department for our township in South Jersey/suburban Philadelphia, since it was based out of our high school. I became a broadcast camera operator and newscaster for a semester, and have held a camera ever since. It started out of high school with shooting weddings and events for a local photographer and photo lab I worked with while going to school for music. Then was hired to shoot for the school. Afterwards,, I spent some years as a photo assistant and digital tech to some of the top image makers in the business, all while shooting on my own. Since then, I’ve incorporated more motion/video to my image making, going out as aCamera Operator/DP. I have shot all over the USA, and have expanded this via my travel blog www.BrownPassport.com to include the far reaches of SE Asia on land and in the sea. I’ve been based out of New York city, though have lived and worked in Chicago, New Orleans, Miami, Philadelphia, and spent a few months living and shooting in Hawai’i, and Indonesia. Have passport, do travel. Current personal work may be viewed via www.BrownPassport.com and www.YouTube.com/BrownPassport
