A French-speaking multimedia journalist, I have been covering stories in India, Africa, France and North America and I would be thrilled to be a Storyhunter. I currently am a graduate student at New York University. I am passionate about hidden stories about seemingly normal people who are faced with extraordinary experiences, life stories or surprising things to tell. Being able to tell those stories is precisely what excites me about Storyhunter. As a one-woman-band field producer, videographer and photographer, I simultaneously photograph and film as I enjoy mixing mediums in my videos. Currently I am producing a project featuring different video portraits of women across the US, telling their personal stories to illustrate larger issues. My professional experiences have helped me to become an open-minded and curious reporter. I have interned at several television production companies in France and India. The time I spent in India particularly trained me to work, research, film, edit and adapt to almost any situation by myself and as part of a team. This experience also reinforced my passion for social issues, something that I believe would benefit in becoming a Storyhunter

I'm a native West Coaster, but lived in Israel for 7 years where I served in the IDF press office and then interned for an Israeli-Arab NGO. I got my undergrad in Israel in International Affairs and M.E. studies. I am now a part-timer in Columbia Journalism School specializing in broadcast, so I have full proficiency in camera use and editing as well as experience reporting. I have covered a broad spectrum of stories, mostly local news in school and worked on international stories when I interned this past fall with Richard Roth at CNN covering the UN. Ideally, I want to cover people affected by foreign conflicts and international political intrigue as well as more lighthearted cultural fare. At the end of the day I want to tell stories that are compelling, whatever the subject. I'm a fast learner, flexible and I do well under pressure so feel free to contact me if there is a story that needs to be told.

I am originally from Cali, Colombia but transplanted to USA more than 10 years ago. I am aspiring to become a documentary producer. My mantra is connecting with people, I want to tell meaningful stories, spread ideas, share emotions, get to know people and learn through culture exchange. I want to reflect this spirit in my videos. I believe that small business owners create unique content and special things instead of commercial and trendy stuff in order to sell a lot. I like to reconnect with tradition and roots and hunt for stories of the makers of New York City. I got the idea from "Meet Your Maker", an event I attended last year that highlighted three local Brooklyn businesses, opening their doors for a special tour of their facilities and a tasting of their products. I would like to hunt for stories like these entrepreneurs who support the community and creates a long lasting content that is never out of trend.

Greetings. I am a filmmaker recently relocated to Brooklyn from Ventura, CA where I studied visual journalism at Brooks Institute. Though I enjoy creating short narratives and music videos, documentary is my passion. I get a great deal of satisfaction from exploring the world around me and by sharing the uncommon or overlooked aspects of humanity. I have worked on several short films involving the homeless, focusing on what it means to be human and a part of society. I have also began shooting for a doc feature about the serious pollution problems plaguing the air and the people of Salt Lake City, which was recently crowned the most polluted city in the world. I am also in preproduction for a documentary about the loss of culture through civilization in Mexico. Though the subjects and locations that I shoot vary greatly, I feel that each of these stories NEED to be communicated for the greater good of humanity. Whether for social change or historical purposes, we can share the world for what it is today. And I look forward to learning more about the local documentary/journalism scene in NYC. Cheers! Cole writer/director/producer at Gravity Free Productions

I'm a filmmaker from the Los Angeles area and have been making video and film pieces, short films and music videos for the past 9 years. I've also been in photography shows and have curated art shows. You can see my previous work @ www.dandynoel.com I'm traveling across the United States for the next 3 months and am making videos based on sustainable/community focused businesses. As John Perkins the author of Hoodwinked wrote, " As consumers we have tremendous power." It's this notion that I want to share with others; by supporting local/sustainable businesses not only are you helping the community but your making a environmental/global impact that will have many great rewards in the years to come. I enjoy hearing stories of how sustainable businesses begin, and it's stories like these that I want to share with people who might not otherwise be exposed to the idea of "sustainable". It's inspiring to listen to the passion that people bring to their own business when they believe in what they're doing.

Im a One Man Band, Backpack Journalist, Video Journalist, Multimedia Reporter, Digital Journalist, Preditor (Producer/editor). Call me what you want, maybe except the last one. Whatever the title is, I do the majority of the production myself. From setting up lights, sound, shooting, reporting, editing, producing and writing. Just a few weeks after my 22nd birthday I moved to Chicago. My friend was a stockbroker and we decided to head out here together. Most people told me I was crazy. Photojournalists rarely start their careers in a market as large as Chicago. Almost eight years later Im still here. Ive worked for Tribune, NBC Universal, and Im now with ABC. As for my style, you name it, I've done it. News, features, special projects, documentaries. I pride myself on being versatile. I've also had a great deal of experience in documentaries. In 2009 I directed my first doc, Under The Ice. It did well and aired on PBS stations in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. It went on to win two Chicago/Midwest Emmys in 2010. I have been a reporter, photojournalist, video editor, producer and writer. In my heart I'm just a storyteller. Thanks for reading.

I was born as a professional in the incredible Patagonia. I fell in love with world cinema at an early age. I truly enjoy being on set and although I approach each project I take on with the utmost dedication, it never feels like work. After developing my eye as a cinematographer, I started writing and directing.   Nowadays, I work equally as a director, cinematographer and editor, sometimes simultaneously, choosing to challenge myself on every job with a shape shifting style and a hunger for originality. I hope the work speaks for itself. I have lived in Patagonia and now find myself in California. Most importantly, I'm an avid collaborator, a curator of ideas, a lover of natural light and outdoor work, I love nature and challenges and value experiences over financial gains - but a little of both can't hurt
