I have always been completely passionate about my job and continuously looking forward improving my professional experiences. I was born in Brazil and came to the US for the first time in 2011 to have an exchange experience in the state of Indiana, where I studied at Ball State University. For four years, I've been a reporter and editor for a big music festival in Southern Brazil called Planeta Atlantida. I have also worked for an advertising company as an online content creator, using my creativity and journalistic skills to innovate communication paths for several companies. Since 2013, I've been living in NYC to study in institutions such as NYFA, NYU and Columbia. Currently I am working as a news producer for the international office of Globo TV, the largest broadcaster in Brazil and in South America.

I look for stories that are off the beaten path that elucidate the human experience. From investigative journalism to music videos, I let the story take me on adventures I could never have imagined myself. The name Selva City (selva is Jungle in Spanish) comes from experiencing Urban jungles across the US, Europe, Africa, The Caribbean and Latin America. I've produced and directed stories for VICE Media, ESPN Deportes, ABC, HBO and a bunch of online properties. In addition to producing and directing, I shoot, write, edit and am comfortable in front of the camera. I'm certified in hostility training, first aid and first response. If it involves travel, foreign languages, and anything related to Culture, politics, music, sports, cute animals or has major historical implications, I'm in. I'd love to help you tell your next story.

In my 10 years of experience in video production, I have produced and edited stories for UNICEF, PBS, Current TV, Brooklyn Independent Television and CUNY as well as for non-profits such as Smack Mellon gallery and the Educational Development Center. Most recently I've been producing and editing stories for UNICEF. I also get to share my experience and enthusiasm for documentary storytelling by teaching video production and editing at The New School in New York. A few of my short films have played at film festivals, including the feature 'Waited For' which has been distributed by Wolfe Video. I live in New York, but grew up in South Africa and am interested in all things African as well as human rights issues, identity politics, religion, gender and technology. I love telling stories and I love filmmaking.

Most of my films have revolved around travel pieces, both long and short form. I also have experience as a journalist, my main beat being the U.S. military. My work has taken me across the world. I am adept at working in difficult environments as well as foreseeing problems so to avoid them. I also have become skilled at finding solutions to problems that turn out to be unavoidable (that's usually where the story is). When you work in "out there" places like Tibet, Xinjiang, eastern China, Iraq, Iran, India, Mongolia, Thailand, Alaska, etc. you cannot successfully complete your work without these skills. I love telling, or better said, showing stories that help people connect with another part of the world or another way of life. Capturing people out of their comfort zone is where self-learning happens and makes for great film. I speak English, Spanish and Chinese.

I'm a documentary filmmaker and camerawoman with a passion for social justice. Armed with little more than a camera and backpack, I have traveled the world documenting stories from the margins, inspired by legions of women, workers, activists and young people dedicating their lives and loves to social change. From Aids orphans in Kenya, green truck drivers in Long Beach, grandmother abalone divers in Japan and maids in Las Vegas, I'm constantly inspired by stories that not only move us, but move us to action. My films have won awards in film festivals and my work been broadcast on PBS, Al Jazeera, BBC and CBC, but I am most proud of the work I am now doing with GlobalGirl Media, www.globalgirlmedia.org, a non-profit which empowers young women from under-served communities in digital journalism.

I spent so much of my adolescence dreaming about moving away from my hometown. I wanted, so desperately, to be part of the bustle of New York City that I regarded everything about my little corner of Northeast Florida as subpar. Needless to say, I moved to the Big Apple as soon as I could. I found myself, however, missing my little/big city by the sea. Less than a year after I left, I found myself back in Jacksonville, determined to embrace the very place I dreamt of escaping from so long ago. I found a job at my local PBS station which forced me to discover Jacksonville's hidden treasures. As an associate producer of "Hometown" I had to produce, direct, and edit short pieces about local people, places, and events which were special to Jacksonville. Slowly but surely, I started falling in love with my hometown.

Hello, my name is Paul Garber and I am an award-winning journalist with 20 years of experience and a lover of films going back even longer than that. I was able join my two passions starting in 2008, when I was named the Winston-Salem Journal's first full-time multimedia reporter. Since then I have created short films for the Web based on a variety of topics, including breaking news videos as well as short explanatory films. I usually worked on next-day deadlines and was both the videographer and editor for stories that often accompanied print coverage, so I know what it is like to do quality work on deadline. I filmed appearances by Barack Obama three times, and have been on the riser for many other political appearances including such figures as Joe Biden, John McCain and Sarah Palin. Also have 2 years public radio experience.
