About Nick L.

My name is Nick Loomis and I am based in West Africa. As a video journalist, my subject matter is most often dictated by whether or not it lends itself to the medium (not everything is a video story). That criterion satisfied, I enjoy doing stories related to the environment, economic development, social (in)justice and, above all, religion - with which this region is teeming.

About Sie A.

Well I am Adams Sie, a Senegalese Documentary Filmmaker. Stories, I can't tell which one I like best... As I am concerned, and in relation to stories... all stories are important as long as they have the human story in them. Story that reflect actual facts of people, animals, places etc. A story that draws me closer to feel the emotion deeply within and outside my human body due to the authenticity and originality of the story told. Those are the kind of stories I loved.
