My name is Judah David, and I myself am a young black male. I realized that filmmaking was what I wanted to do while in school at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, and am now working as a documentarian for One of Us Films in Detroit, MI. Since working for One of Us Films producing stories for Excellent Schools Detroit, I have realized that I love finding stories about young black men that are defying stereotypes and contributing positively to their communities. I also love to find stories that deal with social action and bringing awareness to social injustices. By finding and presenting these stories to the general public, I hope to not only raise awareness about important issues in our community, but also to commend those already making a difference in those issues and to inspire others to do the same. I hope to shine a positive spotlight on my city, long berated for its elevated crime, illiteracy, and poverty levels. There are so many great things about the city I was born and raised in, and I hope that my work will help the world realize that there is hope for a brighter future in the city of Detroit.

Video storytelling within a marketing context is that sweet spot where story is so much more than art – it’s a form of compassion and empathy. Story is what moves people to action, whether it’s to bring people to your website, motivate a donation or sale, or help your customer fall in love with your brand. The stories I want to tell are stories that serve a purpose – that understand the heart of your target audience. What is it that leads your audience to believe in your product or mission? What do they care about? What motivates someone very different than me? It’s story that brings a brand to life. I’ve worked with a wide array of brands, organizations, and artists to bring their purpose and mission to life. To do this well, it’s important to start with parameters – an understanding of the target audience. My favorite projects let me spend some time with the people served by your product/content so that I can tell the story through their eyes. I love working with research and creative teams. Give me parameters or a goal. I can take that and run with it on my own – or we can sit down and plan things together.

I am a freshly minted college graduate seeking an opportunity to enter the world of television and film production. To this pursuit I bring not only the de rigueur enthusiasm, work ethic, etc., but real skills and knowledge accumulated through my varied experiences as a communication/theatre major at The University of Scranton. Last fall, my documentary film class gave me a taste of the world of film production. Students were required to produce their own documentary, and in four months I produced, directed, and edited Inside the Dramatic Mind, a behind-the-scenes look into the theatre world. My favorite moment of filming my documentary was when I interviewed upcoming playwright Corinne Nulton. I asked her what theatre meant to her. She responded with a story that not only touched my soul, but a story that I would've never heard outside of that moment. It's those intimate moments, face to face, human to human, that make being a Storyhunter worthwhile.

This March I went to the Florida Keys as an instructional associate for a climate change reporting class, but I had the chance to do some in-depth reporting of my own. I never expected to come across Stuart Pimm, one of the most revered conservation biologists of our time, on a little island in the Dry Tortugas. He rolled out of bed, one of the few in the secretive dorms inside Fort Jefferson, and agreed to an on-camera interview. He looked like a shipwrecked sailor. There I was, asking him about the fate of the place we were standing. I love reporting and using multimedia to tell stories, especially stories about the environment. I also have a passion for editing with Final Cut X. For those reasons I am applying to be a storyhunter.
