Nekane O.
Nairobi, Kenya
$400 - $1000
7 reviewsAs well as having an MA in Global Media by SOAS, and starting my audiovisual work in television in the 90s at Canal +, I have been filmmaking and photographing independently for most of the last 2 decades. I take pride in my work and make sure I deliver the editorial you are looking for through effective communication and hard work. Both in content and look. I enjoy making documentaries that incorporate creativity in filming and editing when appropriate, crossing audiovisual genre lines and adding extra layers of meaning to the underlying message of each film. I have all my own kit so I am able to complete a project alone from beginning to end. For larger projects, or when it is necessary, I rely on local crew I have worked with in the past, to do specific sound, graphics, or camera work when required. Each project is a whole new journey of discovery and fulfilment in creation. Filmmaking is my passion. Let's chat about yours!

JIMMY M.
Nairobi, Kenya
$100 - $250
1 reviewI am a visual storyteller, having studied journalism at the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication, with specific focus on Film Production. The ability to bring visual stories to life excites me a lot, this passion leading me to working with leading media houses in Kenya, this includes a stint with the national broadcaster KBC and K24 TV, as a camera operator and video editor. Most recently, I worked for the leading media development organization in Kenya, Internews Network, as TV trainer where I was responsible for training and mentoring of journalists and assisting journalists with production of high quality, factual stories. I have since gained valuable experience by being exposed to technical, theoretical and practical aspects of journalism, always being driven by a strong desire to effect change in the world by producing visually strong, compelling and factual stories. I have over time used my expertise to tell different stories in multimedia that connect with the audience in an emotional honest way, stories that have in turn had a great impact in the communities they were told from. I currently work as a freelance Multimedia production specialist, a videographer, a photojournalist and a media consultant and also a partner at Zulani Ltd, a digital media company (www.zulani.tv).
