My name is Juliana, but you can call me Ju. I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and now I'm living in San Diego, California. At age 15 I got my first camera and fell in love with photography. A few years later I started traveling the world looking for something new to do. In 2010, I quit my job as a product designer and went to live in Indonesia, where I started working professionally with outdoor photography and videography. Since then, I've worked with some of the most talented Brazilian surfers and athletes from other sports, producing content for their sponsors and for a Sports/Travel TV channel in Brazil. It's been 8 years since I decided to explore different fields of cinematography including; Fashion, luxury hotel videos, short films and documentaries. In addition, even thought I've always been focused on sports photography the last 4 years I've been expanding my portfolio to some other fields like fashion, travel photography, lifestyle and Fine Art. I always create with a meaningful message because all my inspiration comes from my heart. Inspiring people and spreading the good word is what I like to do the most. I definitely see better through my camera, because I see beauty everywhere. Being able to make special moments last forever and share inspiring stories is one of my biggest motivations.

The six-part short-form program examines teen TV throughout the decades. Individually themed episodes play interstitially or together in sequence as a featurette. For Shout! Factory, David also developed an original special celebrating the classic The Carol Burnett Show. Early formative experiences provided David with a foundation in "broadcasting 101." One was developing and hosting a weekly show on 89.1 WYBF-FM, a Philadelphia area radio station. The Alternative Comedy Hour combined alternative rock with classic comedy recordings and originally produced content. Another was going undercover on a series of investigative reporting projects in Philadelphia with the team at WCAU-TV 10 (NBC) and Herb Denenberg, a leading consumer advocate and TV personality. However, David's first professional role in television began as a teen, performing for three seasons on Nickelodeon's classic sitcom The Adventures of Pete & Pete, which grew a worldwide audience. Behind the camera in Los Angeles, David gained vital knowledge on the producing teams of the unscripted series Celebrity Fit Club (VH1) and 99 Most Bizarre (TLC). Supporting casting director Allison Jones, he was assigned to scripted projects, including the Disney feature Sky High, HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, and NBC's The Office. As a marketing consultant for an Omnicom Group agency, David provided brand education for Samsung Electronics. He regularly traveled and exhibited products at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. David has an eclectic blend of improvisation training and credits his practical resourcefulness to having watched the original MacGyver religiously during childhood.

Award-winning writer, director and producer in film, TV and journalism for 10 years. My recent directing work includes industry-recognized car ads for Hyundai, viral spots for brands like Amazon & Adidas, and social impact documentaries for Clorox. Before becoming an independent filmmaker I was a Senior Creative Producer at BuzzFeed Branded Video for 3 years. I juggled several projects at a time and in all different stages of the production process - one in post overseeing the edit, on set directing, doing a final copy edit on a script, and sending in a fresh pitch deck. Previously I was a network producer at Discovery Science Channel where I worked on shows like "The Unexplained Files," "Alien Encounters" and "Prophets of Science Fiction with Ridley Scott." I also created the video content and live produced panels for thousands of excited fans at Comic Con in NY & SD. I know the ins and outs of pitching to networks, developing shows and executing them on accelerated and full timelines. Before that I was at CNN Special Investigations and Documentaries, where I still have strong relationships from working on specials like "Unwelcome: The Muslims Next Door," "Battle for Blair Mountain," and "Latino in America." As an accomplished producer I received a Peabody for coverage of the Gulf Oil Spill Disaster as part of the "New Orleans Rising" documentary with Soledad O'Brien, Visionary Award at Summit Emerging Media Awards for the "Young Entrepreneurs" series for Hyundai, and spots on the Youtube Ad Leaderboard. While I am a creative who envisions a project coming to life as soon as I read the words on the page, I'm also a producer who knows how to deliver assets that meet client's criteria on time, and under budget. I can one-man-band it shooting 4k, editing in Premiere and creating graphics in Photoshop, run-and-gun with a camera op and sound guy on a doc shoot, or direct a commercial spot with a crew of 70. No matter what the project is, I will give it my all because I'm passionate about creating art. Lets make something awesome together!

Hi, I am a creative and adventure videographer/photographer based out of Newport Beach, CA. I am looking to tell the stories of the unique people and places that this world has to offer. My passion for videography and photography started back during my senior year of college when I was attending Chico State. Throughout my time there I was really unsure about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I kept jumping back and fourth between wanting to start all sorts of different things. First, it was wanting to design cars. Next, it was wanting to design snowboards. Then, I wanted to start a clothing brand and design t-shirts. But there was something that all of these things had in common...I wanted to create. It wasn't until I picked up my first camera, a GoPro, that I knew this is what I wanted to create for life. I found my passion for videography and photography after four years of college and 100 credits later. Would have been nice to find it my freshmen year when I could have changed my major...but hey, what are you going to do? I started taking my camera every where with me. Anytime that my friends and I went hiking, cliff-jumping, camping, snowboarding, wakeboarding, dirtbiking, rollblading, and dirtbiking. You name it and my GoPro was by my side capturing all of my most memorable moments in life. Since then, my passion grew more and more for videography and photography that it became apart of my everyday life. It is so much more to me than just creating beautiful images and videos. It is an outlet for me to display my emotions and create the art that is important to me. It has helped me with every aspect of my life and turned me into the person I am today.

I don't take any assignment lightly, I am a perfectionist that will always push the limits of my craft. I also smile often.

Carolyne always seeks to find an authentic connection with her subjects and is passionate about the ability of visual storytelling to tell an accurate and powerful narrative. Carolyne began her journey as a photographer and visual storyteller in college; the magic chemistry of a white sheet of paper slowly developing into an image as the chemistry washed over was addicting and she changed her major Fine Art after struggling and failing with a Biology major and not being interested in the career aspects of a History degree. After university Carolyne worked as an assistant to photographer Jay Reilly, a photo editor for Sumner Photography, and assistant editor for photographer Joy Doherty, and she was the Lead BTS Still Photographer on the feature-length film To Save A Life (2009). After taking a journalism class at the local community college, Carolyne was asked if she wanted to intern at the San Diego Union-Tribune where she worked as an intern in the photo department of the News section. Her first brush with photojournalism she was hooked, previously not realizing her love of documentary photography and real-time history could be combined. After the internship, she continued to take classes in journalism and even was the Photo Editor at the Palomar College's student newspaper the Chariot. During this period Carolyne worked as a server and bartender throughout north San Diego County, honing her social skill set, learning how to interact with people, and getting them to like and trust her immediately. With her husband, they started a screen-printing company called Noble Ink where they made the merchandise for local music acts in San Diego. Through her time in the food industry, Carolyne backpacked through Europe, Mexico, and the United States, and also took the time to pursue her own personal projects covering the migrant caravan, wild horse roundups, and the sociological and ecological impact of Burning Man. Once the pandemic hit, Carolyne saw her restaurant close down and all of her freelance photography gigs canceled, she realized it was her one chance to be able to throw herself into studying filmmaking and storytelling. Again she enrolled in classes at her local community college, learning filmmaking, editing, and motion graphics. In the spring of 2020, she began an internship at KOCT - The Voice of North County, a local non-profit public access channel and production house starting as an audio technician and moving up to camera operating, floor directing, and teleprompter. She expanded her skill set to include focus pulling and slate as an Assistant Camera while working on several short films and a feature film in Los Angeles in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Currently, Carolyne works as the Lead Production Staff at KOCT and is the lead Videographer/Editor at San Diego LabRats.

I would like to continue to grow, and move forward with my career as a Director. I have been a paid videographer since I was 15 years old, studied cinema at George Mason University, and New York Film Academy, freelanced on major commercial sets with Jonas Akerlund for two years in Los Angeles, CA, and have been with Buzzfeed for what will be the total of 9 mos. I’ve been fortunate enough to work in Buzzfeed’s VR and 360 department using the Odyssey camera from Google. VR greatly interests me, and I believe it to be the “final frontier” of cinema. I am an avid traveler, and have been globe trotting since before I could walk. I completed a feature-length documentary, "Sailing On A Shoestring", for my senior thesis in college. The film is about my dad, who built his own boat during the height of the Apartheid in South Africa, and then proceeded to cross the Atlantic three times. The documentary allows him to relive his memories of sailing, and follows him in search of his vessel's fate. More recently, I have completed three short documentaries. Two of which from Film Stuff Productions in Italy and Poland, and the third with Buzzfeed.

I, Dave (DG) Sorafine have been working in television since I was 15 years old. My passion for being behind the camera and documenting anything and everything started at a very early age. Everybody, including mother nature, has a unique personal story to tell, and I want to tell it through my camera lens. While my early career has been mostly centered around sports and lifestyle filming, I also have a desire for narrative scripted storytelling. I feel like not being able to control your environment prepares you for virtually any kind of scenario that should arise on set or in the field. My experiences have made me an incredibly patient, passionate, and proactive storyteller. Everytime I take the camera out for a job, it feels like I'm embarking on a new adventure with a new team of people ready to document something special. I've been lucky enough to work with such clients as ESPN, NFL Network, PGA Tour Entertainment, Time Warner Cable, Golf Channel, NBC & Disney.
