About Inara C.

I am a Japanese-Brazilian documentary filmmaker based in the Netherlands who has been telling nonfiction stories for 12 years. I promote empathy and raise awareness of human rights and environmental issues through stories in which people are protagonists of their own narratives. I am currently working on the feature-length documentary "Where is Nihon?", which was selected by Logan Nonfiction Program and was also a finalist at the Sundance Documentary Fund 2021 and the Berlinale Talents Doc Station 2022. My works include “Yzalú - Rap, Feminism and Blackness”, a CineB Solar winner and finalist at Semana Paulistana do Curta-Metragem (a City Hall of São Paulo’s competition); “Raam”, which won the CineSud’s SHIFT Film Festival Audience Award; and “Volta na Quadra,” winner of the NETLABTV Audience Award and sponsored by Folha de S. Paulo. Through my production company, I created short documentaries, series, video reports and campaign videos for companies and organisations such as Greenpeace, Avaaz, Google, C&A Foundation, Folha de S. Paulo, GOL, Marie Claire, Revista AzMina, Equal Times, Storyhunter, among others. I also produced, filmed and directed the Brazilian stories for the Riot Games’ international documentary series “Legends Rising”, during two seasons. I started my career as a video journalist at Folha de S. Paulo, the largest Brazilian newspaper, and at the publishing companies Globo and Abril — being one of the talents of the training program “Abril Journalism Course”. I received my degree in Social Communication and Journalism from the State University of Londrina in Brazil, studied documentary filmmaking at UnionDocs in New York, and have a specialized degree in cinema and video from Anhembi Morumbi University in Sao Paulo. Moreover I also did other courses focused on impact documentary, cinematography, editing, script writing and entrepreneurship.

About Reinier O.

My home location is The Netherlands, from where I can do a wide range of stories around the globe. News, background stories and human interest are the stories which have my preference. I'm available throughout the year. Besides working in (western) Europe, I often work worldwide. Either for companies, NGOs, TV or event, I travel abroad to create content and exposure. Prior clients include Discovery Channel, Oxfam, Lonely Planet and more. On a lot of these international trips, I can combine productions, making it more affordable to produce. I have all the necessary equipment to shoot high quality video (and photography). Examples of my work can be seen through the added links, and on my website: www.beyondbordersmedia.com. My mother tongue is Dutch. I speak English fluent and can speak a fair bit of German and French. I have working experience in over 75 countries worldwide.

About Suzanna K.

I've filmed stories on Pakistani dancing girls, anti-Taliban militia, the division of Cyprus and the standoff between protesters and the Turkish government. If the story has depth and sheds a light on a country or issue that hasn't seen the spotlight yet I'm interested. My stories often revolve around a main character and feature an antagonist and other relevant characters.

About Carolien O.

CERTIFIED FILMMAKER. I have a heterogeneous background: I worked as a teacher (4 yrs), corporate consultant/trainer/coach (14 yrs) and filmmaker. I consider myself a ‘Renaissance Soul’: curious, adventurous and talented in more than one area. I know how to capture a story perfectly because of this combination of skills and experience. I have a ‘Fingerspitzengefühl’ for knowing how to make people feel comfortable on camera and have a 'female gaze' for aesthetics (interesting stories can be beautiful too). I invested in the latest gear that makes 4K quality possible, while the same camera (Panasonic GH4) doesn’t feel too intruding in people’s personal space. I guarantee high quality audio too. I went to film school in The Netherlands. I do all the camera + sound + editing myself.

About Alex J.

Made in Germany, raised in Shanghai, and now living in the Netherlands, my life has been a journey of flexibility, research, and innovation. It's been a lifelong theme that travelled with me into adult life. Graduating with a BSc in Industrial design at the TU/e (2011-2014) and working as a Product designer at form+function studio (2015-2016). Every design project was always a perfect opportunity to make a video. I spent my formative years making visual pitch videos, crowdfunding campaigns, and product demonstrations, you name it. With Drop of Lemon, I hope to use this unique insight for technically-oriented companies. Communicating on the same level, and understanding manufacturing, materials and techniques - will allow us to make the most effective video that can accurately represent your brand's identity.
