My name is Anna, I'm a freelance videographer, camera assistant, and editor in Denver. My background is in journalism. Working creatively to connect people, share what's important and uncover solutions — I'm here for it. Some of my most animated moments in journalism happened while working in Washington, D.C., creating short documentary style content covering social justice issues. I solved problems in the field to turn content on same-day deadlines, and developed longer projects. I've also taken on roles on teams as an assistant camera, production assistant, videographer, and editor. I enjoy learning more about various types of productions from commercial to narrative. My longterm goal is to grow in cinematography and editing and work on a documentary team, because what I really enjoy is collaboration and learning from creators around me.

Giancarlo Mariutto was raised to play professional tennis in Wesley Chapel, FL and when that didn’t work out, he made his way to NYC, where the nearest tennis court was unaffordable. Since then, he has created Emmy award-winning content for Disney, Discovery Films, Nickelodeon, PBS, Cartoon Network, and Comedy Central. He’s most proud of his work with the US Department of Education, developing educational programming for low-income households. Outside his career in media, Giancarlo enjoys performing comedy at NYC theaters that used to exist, like the UCB and PIT. For the sheer fun of it, he gives tours as a licensed New York City sightseeing guide and hopes to someday trap you at a party to talk about how a 13-mile island grew from a rickety Dutch trading post to the world's greatest metropolis.

Hi, my name is Jennifer Dzikowski and I have a passion for writing about two very different subjects; crime and herbal supplements/alternatives to traditional Western medicine. I care strongly about justice, and love to follow stories from beginning to end...delving in and making sure nothing is missed. In the past, I wrote mainly breaking news/crime for Heavy.com, and also for Nancy Grace's Crime Online. I still regularly participate on Grace's Podcast, "Crime Stories With Nancy Grace." Additonally, I have written for several herbal companies. As a journalist, I love to interview those in the stories, to give readers the best glimpse of every angle possible. I gather information that other outlets haven't yet discovered, and pride myself on not simply regurgitating what is already known.
