After graduating from Wesleyan University as a Film Studies major – Tara moved to Los Angeles in 2011 where she interned on the TV show Leverage before landing a job at the boutique ad agency Illumin8Creative. Within two years, Tara rose from Assistant Editor to Lead Editor, cutting trailers and sizzles for clients like Sony, Lionsgate and Miramax as well as company profiles and corporate videos for clients like Bank of the West. Here, Tara discovered a passion for doing documentary style shorts and in 2013 started a freelance business specializing in the creation of shorts for non-profits. In March of 2014, Tara was hired as a freelance editor at Brave New Films and shortly there after joined the staff as their Lead Editor. In 2015 she had an opportunity to merge her advertising and documentary experience through her directorial debut – Racism is Real – the biggest success Brave New Films has had to date with over 18 million views across Facebook and Youtube and was featured in outlets such as Vox, Buzzfeed, Upworthy, Time magazine, the Independent, and the Washington Post. Later that year, the Executive Producer of the shorts team stepped down and Tara stepped up. Her first two pieces as the new Executive Producer/Head of Production received millions of social views and upon completion, she was asked to Co-Produce Robert Greenwald’s feature film “Making A Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA”. Since then, she has continued to oversee all development, production, and post for all Brave New Films shorts, animations and interactive games – including campaigns such as “the Bail Trap.” Now Tara has moved to the bay area and ready to find amazing projects to dedicate her talents towards.

After a decade in the film & video industry, Dan realized that in a web-centric world, the captive audience that broadcast commercials took for granted no longer exists. He believes that authentic, entertaining, and meaningful content is what drives people to share a story--not a powerpoint slide filled with value propositions. He started Slow Clap in 2014 with the hopes of having an outlet to tell stories authentically; something he rarely got to do once he left film school. Dan was trained at NYU, where he received a B.F.A. in Film Production from the Tisch School of the Arts. He originally grew up on the Main Line of Philadelphia, but has lived in San Francisco’s Mission District since 2008. He’s collaborated with hundreds of brands like Sony PlayStation, Capital One, TNT, Apple, Google, Norton, Campari, Blue Shield of CA, and Environmental Defense Fund. His short films have appeared in festivals like SF DocFest, Oxford International, Cannes, and others. When you ask his team, they will tell you that Dan is the first to acknowledge when he’s wrong. It’s that sense of integrity and transparency that has helped him grow Slow Clap and keep clients happy. And these core values carry through into the work. What Dan loves most about running his own business is the collaborative relationships he has with his clients. Always open to brainstorm a new project, or contribute to an existing campaign, he loves developing and producing stories in a truly collaborative way. Dan won’t mention his interests outside of work, because Slow Clap is his passion and it keeps him busy around the clock. But if you spend any time at the office, you will definitely meet his better half, Rahel, who’s the secret sauce of Slow Clap’s success.

I'm a San Francisco-based storyteller working for a more equal and integrated society. I'm dedicated to challenging taboos and illuminating truths by giving voice to marginalized populations through film. I am in the post-production phase of my SF Film Society-sponsored short documentary, There Is a Place, about a musician who visits various Alzheimer's care facilities in the SF Bay Area. The film explores how contributing to a collective musical sound within a circle of peers brings out presentness, playfulness and a sense of connection in the face of memory loss, loneliness, and the end of life. Aside from my personal film projects, I've worked with corporate, nonprofit and solopreneur clients to deliver compelling videos that serve their messages. These projects include both documentary-style and narrative shorts, and I drive these projects from creative story development to production, direction and post-production.

I am a documentary filmmaker, directing feature length documentary films. I have been working with social justice groups to create media to tell their stories for 12 years. I have produced hundreds of short videos to be shared online. I have been creating media around worker's strikes, election campaigns, etc so I am used to producing videos on tight deadlines. Much of the work I do has a press component; I often provide interviews, photos & broll reels to press. In 2010 when my work supporting immigrant rights communities in my home state of Arizona drew national coverage, I began getting freelance assignments for radio, PBS Jorge Gestoso Investiga, CNN Espanol, NBC National, TeleSur, Democracy Now, Bill Moyers and Al Jazeera's Faultlines (line production). I am an editor so I capture professional video/ audio with all of the components to tell a story. I came to video journalism through advocacy media but I understand the difference.

I am an established, award-winning documentary filmmaker. My last three films were funded by ITVS for PBS. "Maria Goes to the Homeless World Cup" will be a short video about the transformative power of sports meeting the thorny issue of homelessness. This innovative program is achieving results in 50 countries, which are all sending teams of homeless soccer players to the annual HWC. The piece will be timely this summer, during the official World Cup. This is the story of one young woman from Minneapolis, a former prostitute, who is selected to represent the U.S. at the 2013 HWC. We get to know her back home, watch her play, interact with people close to her, and then go abroad as the goalie of the U.S. Womens team. Does the trip actually have an impact on her life? We follow Maria after she returns home to the challenges of daily life. Street Soccer USA, which runs programs in 18 U.S. cities, estimates that 75% of the players find help within a year. Footage is all shot and logged, but not edited. This story will form part of a 1-hour doc about the U.S. Womens team. The link provided below is a sample reel of the entire project, but with plenty of Maria segments.
