About Ian K.

Hi there. I’m a filmmaker specializing in documentary film of all sizes. My work has appeared on PBS, Time Magazine, CNN, NPR, G4, Billboard Magazine and the Huffington Post. I frequently work with the internationally acclaimed Kartemquin Films (Hoop Dreams, The Interrupters), where I've just finished producing the award-winning documentary feature, "Raising Bertie." Other items of interest: Though I don’t look it, I'm mixed race. My father is Caucasian and my mother is Jamaican/Cuban. While I certainly didn’t get a lot of my mother’s pigmentation, I carry a deep and unique understanding of race and culture. It has helped make me into a compassionate, empathetic filmmaker. Diversity has also carried into my career. Wearing different hats has helped me develop a temperament well suited for travel and the unexpected. I spent over two years living, studying, working and volunteering abroad. I’ve been shipwrecked, lost in the jungle, tear-gassed and nearly stabbed by a 13 year old. I’ve also surfed Brazil, camped in the rainforest, splashed about in a volcano and made friends with a 13 year old. You win some you lose some.

About Patrick M.

I am a graduate of Louisiana State University with a BFA in studio arts concentrating in photography and a minor in African and African American Studies. My work focuses on long term documentary projects that capture cultural events and the people that contribute to it. My photos are the type of images that will not reach their true value until a time comes when these actions are no longer able to be documented. I am an arts incubator constantly striving to achieve and share my growth so that others may tell their stories as well. My photography has forged many experiences for me and it is my lifelong dream to open a center for photography where youths can learn these skills and about more emerging opportunities in this technology driven world in hope of inspiring them to find their voices in similar fashion to how photography helped me find mines.
