A Kiwi photographer, videographer and director specializing in outdoor adventure and documentary storytelling. I am currently based in the UK and in and around Europe (traveling in a van that is kitted out to film in many remote locations) I have been travelling the globe for the past five years combining my passion for ecology, education and rewilding with my creative practice. I aim to create work that feels experiential, that reflects and respects everyone involved. My mission has always been to tell stories of the wild world and I have had the good fortune to work with a variety of passionate change-makers and creatives, helping them to connect with a wider audience to tell their unique and inspirational stories. Some of the highlights have been spending time alongside the San bushmen, photographing them tracking in the Kalahari Desert; telling stories of healing and regenerative ways of living in the mountains of Montenegro and following the fortunes of a group of foragers in Devon as they learn to live sustainably with the land through the four seasons.

Gerrit Loewenberger is a passionate and award-winning documentary and commercial director and filmmaker from Germany He started his career in traditional marketing with an apprenticeship as a media designer. At the time, one of his instructors recommended that he specialize in photo and film production, as he had already recognized his ambitions in this field. But the time was not yet ripe for this. Over the years, he worked his way up in marketing and finally landed as a project manager in a photo and video production department of a marketing agency. Here his old passion came back to life, and he asked himself more and more: “People buy from people. Why then don’t we show them with their very own character, but always polish them to a high gloss so that they become interchangeable?” Good films and videos should entertain, inform, help and inspire, but above all they should touch emotionally. In most cases, this is best achieved with authentic documentaries. Based on this drive, Gerrit founded his own production agency, LionMountain Pictures in early 2020. In addition to his agency’s commercial assignments, he started his own production of the short documentary “5 Points of view” in the summer of 2021. This was nominated several times at various film festivals and won the award for the best short documentary at the “New Creators Film Awards” in 2022. Gerrit is already preparing the next documentary projects.

When we make films, we sweat to get the very best of our subjects. Our team of raw-cut visionaries share an ethos of dedicated and enjoyable filmmaking; using real sets and creating a safe atmosphere in front of the camera, which allows honest performances and a great mood for capturing original art. We believe strong research delivers the perfect components for our cinema on the day, without incurring the unnecessary production costs considered industry norm. Our filmmakers use the most modern technology to streamline production time and reduce on-set bureaucracy, so that one can deliver a pure slice of life, unhinged and unfiltered. We seek more than ‘a paying job’. Our projects are carefully selected, because we’re doing the thing that makes us most happy. We must engage meaningfully with the themes, heart and soul, and create something the whole team is proud of, because our work seeks a larger meaning; to display our craving for life.

I did my Bachelor and Masters degree in Science Communication, at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and since 2007 I have been publishing in portuguese newspapers and magazines. I lived in Florence, London, Barcelona, Bissau and Brussels, always working as a freelance journalist. Recently, Ive published a feature about sub-Saharan migration in Moroccos and how those people are struggling trying to pass to Europe. Human Rights, Immigration and inequality are the two subject I most like to investigate. One of the topics I would like to explore with Story Hunter help is the difference between North and South Europe. European crisis has overwhelmed the media coverage but there are many few approaches that show how different Europe can be. Having Netherlands and Portugal as examples, I would like to cross the two countries and talk with several type characters (from a farmer to a business man, from an old woman to a young unemployed...) in order to understand how their constraints, their ambitions, their way of facing and explaining crisis can change because of their geographical position. Shortly,when we talk about Europe we are talking about different realities that must be shown.

Traveler. Storyteller. Humanitarian. I celebrate stories that are unique. I think its important to listen and respect one's environment. That's the way in which the people and places we rarely get the chance to know about unveil themselves. I am a believer in doing something different, what's outside the box. A little more poetic in the visual form. My training stems from Tisch School of the Arts and I was fortunate to take acting classes with Lelia Goldoni, the lead in Cassavates' "Shadows." I've worked as a director, decorator and producer in commercials and narratives so it's always fundamentally important to me that I create and produce engaging and powerful imagery. Grateful to be here and I would love the opportunity to collaborate with you.
