Besides other individual works, I'm working as a multimedia producer with several companies as a freelancer that teaches me how to be part of pre-production, directing and post-reduction process. Recently, I worked as Multimedia Producer for the Artist Open Houses Festival. I intensely worked with artists and document, and I created a content about the artist’s work within the festival which I learned to work closely with social media manager to produce content for social media accounts. After, I worked as a head photographer for Brighton Digital Festival 2017. I also worked as a video producer for HOUSE Biennial 2017. I documented two artists’ works, Andrew Omoding and Anthony Stevens whose are commissioned artists for HOUSE Biennial and Outside In UK. For this project, I worked with other freelancers who involve in the post-production part.

I inquisitively love to tell character-led stories through film and photography, on a variety of topics, such as women’s lives, human rights and traditions. Throughout my career I’ve worked alongside some inspiring charities and production companies. I’ve adapted to each brief which has seen me multitasking as a producer/director, editor and self-shooting camera woman and photographer. And due to the ever changing industry, it’s meant I have turned my hand to multiple other complimentary roles including research and idea development, co-ordinating film festivals, case study gathering and distribution producing. I’m a curious storyteller, continuously inspired by humans and nature. Multimedia content has the power to tell the most important stories of our time. My work aims to allow people to open their minds and connect to a cause, story or way of life. I specialise in finding the best medium to tell stories and bring them to life through film or photography to raise awareness and engage audiences.

Alex Masi (b. 1981 in Ivrea, TO) is an Italian photojournalist dedicated to document and expose peculiar issues of human-made injustice, focusing mainly on children: their living conditions, their health and their human rights. He believes photography to be an essential channel for audiences to learn with immediacy, and to subconsciously empathise with other people facing realities far away from their immediate surroundings and personal experiences. Alex strives to produce intimate, touching images that can sensitise viewers in positive, engaging and proactive ways, hoping to effectively become a catalyst towards a slow change in people's behaviour and in policy-making. In May 2011, ‘The Photographers Giving Back Awards’ in Sweden, assigned Alex a unique grant to draft and implement a plan benefiting one of his subjects in Bhopal, India, and her entire family. ‘Poonam’s Tale of Hope in Bhopal’ - http://www.alexmasi.co.uk/poonam

I am an award-winning photojournalist with more than a decade of experience, covering a wide variety of subjects - from the Presidential campaign trail, Ireland's economic boom, the Intifada in the West Bank, to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I previously worked for the Economist Newspaper Group, and was also a senior staff photographer for Gannett's Military Times. Freelance clients have include a variety of news organizations, such as The New York Times, U.S. News and World Report, the Boston Globe, Der Spiegel, Scotland on Sunday, Agence France-Presse, and the European Pressphoto Agency. In terms of documentary-work, much of my experience has been military and conflict related. Basically, though, I'm interested in character-driven narratives, where the subject narrates their own story - the classic "day-in-the-life." I'm also interested in short features, such as travel and food pieces.

Hello, I'm Zoe, a filmmaker born & bred in London. I've worked in the industry for over 6 years, starting off as a humble delivery driver supplying productions around the UK with all the optical, camera, lighting and grip equipment they needed. Today I love working behind the camera, whether as a self-shooting PD or working alongside a full crew, I just love to shoot. But it's not all camera camera camera for me. Before going freelance I spent 4 years working in-house at an agency as a Producer & Director, working predominantly on big fashion campaigns, live shows and documentaries. I have the upmost respect for the fashion industry, having had the privilege to work from the inside for many years and the good fortune to maintain my old clients so I can continue to collaborate. Since being freelance, I've branched out into sport and live action, given my own love and passion for competition, fitness and documenting humans pushing the boundaries. I have a full GVC drone licence and my own DJI Air 2S which I love to go fly! Please don't hesitate to give me a nudge if you want to discuss any productions, in whatever stage or capacity you're at. I'm always, always around for a chat. Zoe
