About Rachel R.

I apply as part of the the POV Call for Filmmakers to pitch short documentary projects on black-male achievement. I am a documentary filmmaker passionate about stories about people with tunnel vision so passionate they can think of nothing else as possible for their lives. I have filmed rappers, prisoners, painters, and patients with Alzheimers. Since the age of 15 when a high school teacher put a camera in my hands, I have been filming. I am most known for Nobody Knows My Name, the first documentary about women in hip hop, and for Freestyle the Art of Rhyme, which I filmed and co-edited, which aired on VH1. Currently, I teach production and have been making films with my students since 2009. Two projects filmed before my prof life inspire my pitches for PBS: The Path To Power: I Self-Devines Sounds of Low Class Amerika, a short about community activist, rapper, and aerosol artist Chaka Mkali who works developing power with kids in the inner city South neighborhoods in Minneapolis. And, an uncompleted documentary currently being worked into a web-based transmedia project, focused on the Stillwater Poetry filmed for 8 months inside of a mens prison in Stillwater, Minnesota.

About Dillon H.

After graduating from Kansas State University in December 2013 with a B.A. in Journalism and Digital Media, I immediately moved to Birmingham, AL, to pursue work as a freelance cinematographer and editor. In January 2014, I began freelancing with Alabama Public Television to help provide engaging, educational content to the citizens of Alabama. I now work full-time with APT as a Documentary Production Specialist, but I continue to freelance as a film director, photographer, and documentarian. My interest lies in bridging cultural gaps in a historically segregated region by documenting the experiences of those living in low-income areas through photography and film/video. I take a personal interest in the historical, political, and economic circumstances that have contributed to and continue to fuel segregative action in the South. Through documenting both the catalysts and results of educational, economic, and social inequalities, I hope to contribute to a global understanding of them.
