Hi Story Hunters, My name is Matteo Ghidoni, I am a video journalist and video maker based in Los Angeles. I create video news, short documentaries and interviews on a daily basis, for several outlets such as the Italian National TV RAI, the international Chinese tv CGTN, the NY Post and more. In the last seven years, from Los Angeles and the USA, I created videos for Voice of America, Fox, Sky, Yahoo, the Italian biggest press agencies ANSA, Kika Press and more. Before living and working as videomaker between Los Angeles and Milan, I’ve lived and worked in Amsterdam, Rome and for a while in Ghana. I love my job and I am always glad to get in touch with great professionals. We could have a fluent conversation in English, Spanish or Italian, my mother tongue. I’ve been working in televisions, radios and newspapers since when I finished my Master in media communication, in 2008. I can create video news on my own: starting from the idea to the final product and also work in a team of reporters. I have been working in some independent documentary and I learned a lot from those experiences, I am willing to bring it to the next level. I can work both in front and behind the camera or as a producer/coordinator. I know different kinds of editing programs and cameras My Multicultural background makes it easy for me to adapt in new contexts. Writing, producing and filming videos is my way to express my creativity. In my free time, I love to learn improv theater. Get in touch with me, I'm sure we have a lot of things in common, especially the passion for videos Ciao, Matteo

Journalist, documentarian, digital archivist. I've worked for Reuters and Agence France Presse as a video news journalist as well as with Fatherly, AJ+ and Simple Most for social media video. I've filmed and covered breaking news in more than six countries (India, Kosovo, Panama, Mexico, Japan and the USA) and produced 100s of news pieces. I've interviewed A-list Hollywood celebrities, Indian breakdancers and Japanese anti-nuclear protesters but the interview I'd most like to do is with my mother when she was my age (if I had a time machine!) My speciality is producing or video editing for news but I sometimes work on commercial projects or television programs as creative director or production manager. My personal interests include boxing, cooking gluten free dishes and digital archive management. I love to collaborate and I believe firmly in 100% risk, 100% reward.

I love creating content and telling stories. I can wear many hats. I come up with ideas, produce, shoot, write scripts, interview, edit and fly drones. I am strong and can handle a video stabilizer. There is always a cool story to tell, we just need to pay attention. I am extremely interested in climate change, human stories, travel, food and animal stories. I don't stop until I get the job done!

I love to create compelling stories that empower people to take action and make a social impact. I created my first video when I was in high school. In college, I produced a 30-minute documentary about undocumented students struggling to pay for higher education. Since then, I have produced videos for local and national non-profit organizations to help them drive their campaigns about immigration, LGBTQ rights, HIV education and stigma, economic and racial inequality, animal rights, mass incarceration, police brutality and, most recently, healthcare access. As a filmmaker, I understand the importance in capturing genuine and visceral footage while making people feel comfortable. I have over 7 years of experience in documentary video production and editing. I have also worked as a Social Media video producer and reached millions of people on social media through my videos. I’m comfortable working as a one-person crew or in a collaborative team. Additionally, I am a highly organized and collaborative individual. I have learned from experience that organization is key to successfully navigate small and complex projects. For example, I traveled to Puerto Rico as a one-person crew to cover the debt crisis affecting health services, education and businesses on the island. I left California with only two-story leads and carrying three bags of cameras and audio equipment. Over the next six days, I researched, investigated and recorded 27 interviews, including footage. Upon my return, I worked closely with my post-production team and I edited a bilingual standalone piece on the education crisis which reached over 6.9 million views on Facebook and provided a platform for thousands of people, including Senator Bernie Sanders, to engage in profound dialogue. As a queer and immigrant content creator, I have gained significant experience working with different video styles and diverse communities. My experience would make me a strong team player to complete your video production and editing needs. I welcome the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications for your project.

Gary Alvarez is an independent filmmaker based in Los Angeles. He graduated from Chapman University's Dodge College of Film with an M.F.A. in Film Production (Directing) in 2012. Since then he has been working professionally as a writer/producer/director. Born the youngest of three sons to working-class Mexican immigrants in Monterey Park, Gary was raised in the barrios of Bell. At 19 he enrolled in UC Berkeley’s Chicano Studies Program and studied abroad at UNAM before graduating in 2002, after which he returned to Los Angeles and taught for the subsequent 10 years. In 2004 Gary embarked on a journey that changed his career path and ultimately his life: he traveled across Mexico from Tijuana to Cozumel, penning a manuscript that was later adapted into a screenplay. Numerous screenwriting workshops and indie film sets later, he decided to transition into a career as writer/director. Gary’s passion is writing and directing narrative films as well as producing documentaries. With the series boom on Netflix and Amazon Prime, he added writing for television as a personal goal. Currently he is developing a new series, writing his next full-length screenplay and producing a feature documentary based on the Bell political corruption scandal of 2010. From 2015 to 2018, Gary taught screenwriting and film production to young filmmakers from underrepresented communities in Los Angeles and Orange Counties through the Latino Film Institute’s Youth Cinema Project. Since February 2016, Gary has been hosting an internet radio music show called Persistence of Sound every Wednesday evening from Espacio 1839 in Boyle Heights. His aim is to document the stories of local creatives through interviews via the show’s guest DJ segment Patched In.

I'm a videographer and photographer based in Southern California. I'm passionate about producing creative content and telling visual stories. My curiosity in diverse cultures led me to travel the world and ultimately pursue a bachelor’s degree in Visual Journalism from Brooks Institute. There, I was able to develop my storytelling techniques and to produce several stories on my own. My latest collaboration was with The Coalition Group working with film producers Johnny Wunder and Luisa Iskin. There I produced content for artists such as R&B singer JR Castro as well as singer and fashion/beauty blogger Jessi Malay. ​ My past experiences include working with Viralata Produções, one of the most creative production companies in Rio de Janeiro where I had the opportunity to contribute to content production for major Brazilian organizations. In the US, I worked with Interloper Films, the production company led by award-winning documentary filmmaker Ondi Timoner with whom I also worked as editor on the web series “A Total Disruption.” I was also involved as researcher for the TV series "Strangers in Danger" and "Next Stop For Charlie,” which were produced by the Hollywood production studio Mandt Brothers Productions. However, my true calling is being on the streets, unveiling the everyday stories people don't read in the newspapers or don't watch on the TV. Stories forgotten by the mainstream media. One of the most memorable moments in my career was a journalistic trip I made to Vietnam, where I had the opportunity to capture the horrific effects that Agent Orange still have in the Vietnamese population. The stories I like to hunt for range from severe human right issues, such as the one I told about Vietnam, to stories revealing slices of life and everyday victories within the community. I hunt for the unusual and for the injustices as well as for the beautiful and the creative within each culture.

I’ve been producing video professionally for over 10 years and have worked with small in house teams, clients, and freelancers, but there’s always been aspects of my work that I do entirely on my own - I concept, write, shoot, host, and edit, entirely independently. Directing, filming, writing copy, scheduling posts, social media, creating and working with brands - I do this on and after hours, for clients and passion projects alike. Whether it is a small project I can produce on my own or a production which requires I work with a team or even put a team together. My talents include; graphic design, photography, web design, public relations and branding. I’m here to help, being a good creative partner and collaborator really matters to me. I enjoy working with those with a shared goal, and understand the importance of partnership. Working alongside talented professionals and friends, who bring a unique perspective makes the creation process exciting.
