It's as simple as this: I'm passionate about words. Writing them, editing them, translating them, reading them. In a journey that’s taken me from the Midwest to Spain and back, I have gone from journalism to digital marketing, spanning print (newspaper, magazine), digital (articles, blogs, website copy, social media, email marketing, ads, SEO), B2B, and B2C. I have 13 years of writing and editing experience, 11 years of translation, and 10 years of digital marketing in tech startups, specializing in SEO-optimized content creation, management, and strategy. In my freelance work, I'm a natural-born storyteller whose niche is language, culture, travel, and tourism—especially after spending almost my entire 20s in Europe. I am meticulous, with an unmatched level of attention to detail, and I care deeply about the quality of my work. I feel strongly about creating organizational systems and getting processes down in writing. I enjoy creating guidelines and templates that help everyone succeed. (Yet, I also believe that you cannot schedule creativity and must embrace how each day guides you while still accomplishing what’s necessary.) I believe in open, honest, and transparent communication in all facets of my life, including the workplace. I perform best in a supportive work environment that allows employees to shine and work autonomously, based on mutual respect and trust. I thrive in companies that treat their employees like human beings and understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance, including adequate time to relax, disconnect, and enjoy life as we're meant to.

Fábio Erdos is a Brazilian documentary filmmaker and photographer member of Panos Pictures, one of the world's leading independent and award-winning photographic agencies. In 2019, Fábio won a World Press Photo award for the film "Marielle and Monica", produced for The Guardian, and in 2021 he was invited to serve as a jury member for the World Press Photo Digital Storytelling Contest. His films have been shown at several festivals, like GLAAD (New York), One World Media (UK), La Gacilly Photo Festival (France), the Museum of Tomorrow, the Museum of Modern Art (Rio de Janeiro), and he was shortlisted for the IDA Documentary Awards. ​ Previous to his film and photography career, Fábio worked for the international non-profit ActionAid for many years, where he gained experience in grassroots work on poverty and social inequality. During this time he worked in rural communities in Northeast Brazil, a region that suffers from one of the worst droughts in the last 50 years, in Haiti, a year after the devastating earthquake of 2010, and in the rural communities of Mozambique. These experiences inspired him to pursue filmmaking and photography as a way to convey contemporary socio-environmental issues.​ ​ Fábio focuses on documenting stories through a personal and intimate narrative, aiming to bring awareness and, most importantly, impact on social and environmental issues.

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.

I'm Fran, 28, Philosophy Major and Film MFA, with an interest in story telling, be it still images or 24fps. I've been doing principal cinematography for several projects in the west area of Puerto Rico, Chicago, and New York. Received a couple of National Awards for Best Cinematography in a short film, and recently curated my first photographic series titled 'Darklight'. Lately I've been focusing more on directing, since I wanna employ my cinematographic skills in telling my own stories. Occasionally I work with Discovery Communications LATAM hand picking stock images for their web platforms, and encoding selected media. On my free time I volunteer as a Barista at a local coffee shop, since I find that the best stories to tell often come from the people around us.
