I earned a B.A. in Film Studies from Columbia University and my MFA from New York University’s Tisch Asia program in Singapore. My thesis film Tether, shot on location in Guatemala, has screened at prestigious film festivals including Palm Springs, Rhode Island, and Newport Beach. I am currently based in Los Angeles where I direct, produce, write and edit short content including branded videos for a variety of NGOs and startups as well as narrative films for AFI Directing Workshop for Women and Alliance of Women Directors / Shoot 'Em Up.

Professional, patient, creative and fun are some of the adjectives my clients have used to describe me. I have been a video journalist for 9 years, specializing in videos for businesses for websites and platforms such as Yelp and YouTube. My production company team ranges from a one person shoot to full crew with multi cam, audio and lighting. I personally have shot everything from dog day care to dentists, doctors, lawyers and a multitude of restaurants. Coming from a design background, I especially enjoy filming color and texture. Also in my portfolio are private biographies, TV ads and corporate training videos. All videos are edited by me on Final Cut Pro X. I love what I do; my work is my creativity enjoyment.

I have eight years' experience as a professional Videographer/Editor and three years as a television production coordinator and manager in broadcast television. I later became a Creative Video Producer with Princess Cruise Lines, traveling to over 50 countries filming short-format documentary-style vignettes. Upon settling in San Diego, I was a videographer/editor with San Diego Zoo Global and have since been a freelance visual media coordinator. My passion lies with wildlife and natural history content, as well as travel content, however I am technically and creatively capable of working on projects outside of these genres. I have produced videos for documentaries, social media, marketing, promotions, fundraisers, special events, and personal spotlights.

Hello, my name is James Bloniarz. I've been shooting / directing / editing videos full-time for the past 5 years or so. I've shot a lot of music-related stuff -- music videos, behind-the-scenes, and artist profile videos. I've also shot commercial, fashion, travel, and comedy videos. I own my own Sony gear: a pair of a7sii's, a handful of lenses, shotguns, lavs, filters, lights, etc. I edit in Premiere and AfterEffects. I come from a graphic design background so I am also totally proficient in Illustrator and Photoshop. I've directed videos for some high profile music clients: Rihanna, The Beatles (streaming music launch), Lil Yachty, and a dozen more mostly in the "urban" music category. But I truly love creating videos for any industry.

My name is Touacha Her and I am a DP based in Chicago, IL. I started my focus in the camera department since 2011. Working a lot with direct to client work, I have a deep understanding on how production is run. As a DP, I work extensively with the Director and communicate through the entire process and vision to ensure that we are capturing the aesthetic and style imagined. I utilize CineDesigner in Cinema4D, to pre-visualize everything from blocking, lighting, composition to camera movement all in a 3D environment. This allows me to communicate to my clients and crew, my vision quickly and effectively reducing costs through preparation while honing in on the critical storytelling elements that matter.

I create visual media for those that need it. Or want it. Or just like it. Photos + Videos + Strategies. I work with companies of all sizes to execute creative media that puts eyeballs on messages. This is the craft I've chosen to devote my career to perfecting. I bring that passion and expertise to your company, so your customers, clients, and community engage with your message. I've worked on the inside as a corporate creative for the Federal Reserve, and I've worked for a lot of agencies creating content and media that drives attention. Since I've worked both sides I can bring a sophisticated overview of how to best create the media you need and truly create the media you want! Looking forward to working with you!

Over the past two years I have worked to establish a modern creative agency, Mor11, that is dedicated to creating genuine experiences across digital platforms. The development of this company has allowed me to combine my passion for detail and complex problem solving learned during my time spent as a Microbiologist with my never ending yearn to create through artistic endeavors. I base my work and life around the idea that strong logic and creativity can exist simultaneously. Disciplined logic allows me to identify and assess potential improvements while creativity is the means by which I can freely explore the possibilities. I wish to assist others through complex problem solving in creative ways and laugh a lot while doing it

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.

I started my journey in video by working for a Army training center in Fort Polk Louisiana. While news style shooting appealed to me, it was the imagery, and how the frame could add to the story that really caught my attention. I began getting more into photography, framing, composition, lighting. After several years as a freelancer I decided to get a degree in production. Formal learning fanned the flames of my interest in cinematography, and taught me that I could create amazing images rather than just finding them. I've been lucky to maintain that passion for more than a decade, and I've been even more lucky to find other amazing crew members to work on productions with. My heart is working with a camera, and the artful and technical aspects that a imaging device helps me create.
