About Michele B.

As a highly-motivated journalist and videomaker, I have been reporting on international news, development, human rights and environment in Latin America and Italy since 2012. My bylines include digital outlets and news agencies such as: AlJazeera.com, El País, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, Vice, Narratively and Ruptly. As far as Italy is regarded, my work has been featured on prominent media such as Repubblica TV, L'Espresso, Internazionale and Linkiesta. These experiences have enabled me to take care of the whole video production process, so I am used to script, shoot and edit my packages and documentaries independently. Since 2014 I have been focusing on online videos and interactive journalistic formats, and for this work I was awarded an Innovation in Development reporting grant and a King of Spain Honorable mention. In addition to Italian, I have professional proficiency in Spanish and English. I am currently based in Rome, where I hold a position as video producer at the Italian Parliament. However, I like to consider myself always open to new exciting and innovative projects, should they arise. I believe that good journalism has to be found on the streets, talking face to face with people and looking for the other side of a story. This is what I believe I can produce for Storyhunter.

About David C.

I am an Italian independent filmmaker based in Italy. I come from an academic/journalistic background: I researched in History, Politics and Social Studies during my university years in Rome and London and reported from the Middle East and Africa. The first time I approached filmmaking was just a couple of years ago and it was a revelation. I understood that what I was really looking for were peoples personal stories mirroring the macro events I researched and witnessed during my academic years and working experience. Since then, I built a team of professionals with the same targets and interests and with whom I am currently collaborating. At the moment, I am working on a documentary about the global market of khat, a natural amphetamine cultivated in the Horn of Africa. But with the recent dramatic political changes in the Mediterranean area, I am looking forward to focus on my country, engaging with little-known and underreported stories of migration, environment and human rights.
