I have experience producing documentary films, writing feature articles, and packaging radio & TV pieces. I'm an American based in Bogotá, Colombia, with experience working in English, Spanish and French. In 2015, following dreams of being a full-time storyteller, I moved to India to co-direct a documentary about an orphanage outside the city of Hyderabad. Most recently, I served as the managing editor at Innovations | Stories, an online publication sharing the stories of social innovators all over the Global South. While at Innovations | Stories I designed and spearheaded a multimedia editorial strategy which allowed for more diverse content (a heavier focus on photo and video stories). As managing editor I supported video and photo freelance contributors from all over the world and designed storytelling trainings for social innovators to tell their own stories. I'm originally from Berkeley, California, USA and I earned my B.S. from the University of California, Davis in Community and Regional Development with a minor in Art Studio (focusing on video and photography). From 2010-2015 I directed a global education program called One World Youth Project (OWYP), based in Washington, DC. At OWYP I designed middle school (age 10-14) curriculum and trained university students to teach it around the world in their own communities. The program taught the children cross-cultural communication by empowering them to create and send video, photo, and written messages to their partner classroom abroad - all facilitated by trained university student volunteers. While serving as program director at OWYP I had the privilege of traveling around the world visiting schools and delivering trainings at universities. My work in education and the opportunity to see so much of the world made me realize I wanted to tell stories. Storytelling is the best form of education anyway.

Hi I'm Angélica Toro. I'm a pianist and a filmmaker and live in Medellín,Colombia. Four years ago I co-founded the production company DeMente Fotográfica now Plano Gorilla. Echoes of the sea, our first documentary short film, was awarded as Best Documentary Short Film on the DocLa Los Angeles Documentary Short Film Festival, and Best Short Film in the 12th Annual Huntington Beach SoCal Film Festival in the United States. Was also showcased in Germany, Canada and Colombia. I think that Colombia is the country of stories, where there's a lot to show that the world hasn't seen yet. Since 2017 my production company has been developing videos for Ozy.com where we've been shooting from the simplest stories, to ones with people that can change the world through their ideas and their work. I invite you to watch our work, I'm sure you will enjoy it!
