About Rodrigo M.

I was born in Brazil in 1976. After spending my teen years playing with camcorders and VCRs, I ended up working in the field of television journalism and video production in my home country. I graduated with a degree in communications in 1997 and I then furthered my studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London, where I completed a master's degree in documentary production in 2001. For the past ten years I've been working around the world as a travel videographer.

About Bruno F.

I'm a 30 years old photojournalist. I worked for 3 years at a daily newspaper in Brazil and in 2007 I co-founded ODIN STORYTELLING, a collective of photography. I moved to London in 2010 and thanks to my Canon 5D markii I had the opportunity to be involved in quite a few video and film productions. Back to Brazil in 2012, ODIN was commissioned to produce web videos for the campaign of a candidate for Mayor of Belo Horizonte. We knew how to do that very well with photography but with video was a completely new demand. Luckily we were given lots of editorial freedom and we used our journalist and photographic background to explore social problems issues. Two of the productions were selected to be broadcasted on TV. We've recently turned ODIN into a production house and we intent to produce visual stories, commissioned or not, always exploring the possibilities of broadcasting on the web.

About Ivan A.

I have been a professional filmmaker, editor and video journalist for more than fifteen years. As storyteller, I seek to work on long-term, in-depth projects in which I strive for present narratives in an essential way. I believe images make a critical contribution by revealing the subjects of history that lack voice. At the core of my work is a lighted love of people. I worked internationally both on personal social projects as well as on a wide variety of film, TV and Internet Productions in, amongst other places, Angola, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, England, Nigeria, The Netherlands and Spain. I speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and some French
