Olga responds quickly and delivered everything as promised. I have yet to review the script and footage in their entirety, but up to this point in the project she has been a true pro. I'll be back to update!

Request QuoteAbout
I'm a freelance journalist, filmmaker and editor. I travel a lot and love to pursue complex investigative and character-driven stories from remote places. In the past five years I've produced, filmed and edited documentaries, TV programs and digital pieces in Latin America, the United States, West Africa, and Russia. I'm a Fulbright alumna and a graduate of Mizzou Journalism School. I started my journalistic career as a reporter and producer for English-language newspapers in Russia covering anti-government protests, elections and other pressing issues. I mostly do video now, but still enjoy researching and writing profound feature stories occasionally.

Olga produced, filmed, and edited a great film for us. Communication was good throughout the project and she was quick to make any suggested changes. We'll definitely work with her again.

The quality of the footage is perfect, including the color, the light and the framing. Also Olga is pretty responsible and easy to work with, hop to work with her in the future!

A changemaking chocolatier
Axel Emmanuel Gbaou, one of the very few local chocolatiers who is trying to change the way chocolate is made, marketed and sold in Ivory Coast. The country produces about 40% of the world's raw cocoa beans, but hardly makes any of its own chocolate. Besides, child labor is common in some areas of the country, and many industry giants like Mars and Hersheys do little to nothing to make sure their chocolate is fair trade. Gbaou has trained more than 500 women in a cooperative in rural Ivory Coast that supplies his company with cocoa beans and makes sure his bars are ethically made.
