About Mariko L.

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.
