About Eric R.

I’m constantly working on new ways to leverage advances in mobile technology, and further simplify the complex tasks required of any multimedia journalist. My focus on speed, mobility and simplicity gives me an ability to satisfy the ever-growing need for lightning-fast, concise, unbiased, and broadcast-quality news products. Whenever possible, I use drone and 360° video live-streams to create an unedited, immersive experience for viewers. I also produce documentary video and occasionally publish written news stories.

About Patrick M.

I specialize in crafting narrative pieces. I bring a keen insight and dedication to telling a story in the best form. Photography, filmmaking, writing, graphic design, and digital creation give me a wide range of experience to pull from. Being self-taught in the tools and workflows of the trade, I bring a deep understanding and appreciation to all aspects of each project. I thrive in harsh environments, driving and working with small, high skilled, and talented crews. Crafting intimate, and emotional, stories with a unique style and flare. Being a consummate problem solver, I have always gravitated to working on unique and demanding projects. I apply my love for technology, narrative, and adventure to create experiences that have garnered millions of views on social media. I combine a life of adventure with the mediums of photography, filmmaking, writing, and graphics. Working in some of the harshest conditions, I have developed a unique fluency for capturing impossible shots. Known for my acumen in endurance, I am undaunted by long hours, brutal environments, and rugged terrains. The most radical of situations often lead to the most compelling stories. Starting at a young age, with a gift of a camcorder, I created movies with friends. Years later, the tradition continued as I made music videos, short films, and snowboarding/ skiing videos. I have worked for several years professionally, learning and developing a style and technique, and earned projects that have taken me around the world.
