My name is Jessica Goldberg. I’m an Emmy award-winning writer, producer, and filmmaker. My work has aired on ABC News – Good Morning America, Al Jazeera, CBS News, PBS and FOX Sports. Some of the stories I have written about include Syria’s Civil War, the mass shooting in San Bernardino and America’s heated election cycle. I have produced interviews with changemakers and world leaders like UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon. And I have helped give a voice to the voiceless. I have an unquenchable thirst to learn and enlighten others. I truly believe quality information is the first step to solving any of our world's problems. When I'm not chasing a story, you can probably find me trying to master a new skill. My latest - learning to paint like Bob Ross and miserable attempts at surfing.

Katherine Filaseta is an emerging filmmaker originally from South Carolina. While at Washington University in St. Louis, Katherine acted in a few student films and researched tropes of globalization in Bollywood. After graduating with a degree in International Studies, Katherine limited her involvement in film to reviewing films on her feminist blog ("Complaining About Things I Like") and podcast ("Filmi Talks"), while studying Hindi in India and teaching children performing arts. Realizing that teaching was not her true passion, she decided to enroll in a short filmmaking course at the New York Film Academy. Katherine hopes to add to her current portfolio by showcasing her ability to use the overlap of fiction, music, and visuals to tell stories with a true purpose.
