About Allison O.

I'm Allison Osberg, a multimedia journalist located in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. I started off as a photographer, progressed into video and now dabble in radio as well. I speak fluent French and basic Mandarin and have worked as an artist and journalist in both France and China. I am particularly interested in stories about the environment, globalization and art. I think the purpose of good journalism is to make foreign subjects and places accessible, personal, and meaningful no matter the listener. Video is so integral to the journalistic process because it's capable of communicating the complex, saying 1000 words per picture, 24 times a second.

About Barbara W.

hello, I am a producer/director/filmmaker/visual storyteller. My heart work is in cultural documentaries, both long and short form. I learned my craft working in public television and then as an independent. I like finding stories that give voice to issues through intimate encounters with everyday people. I like to understand complex stories and focus them into accessible pieces. As people tell me their stories and share their intimate feelings, I understand that these stories can change the world. I think there is no more powerful form of connecting than visual storytellingconnecting truth, ideas and the essence of what it means to be a human being in a broken world. I am an intrepid maker. I have 28 years experience and have learned how to respectfully and kindly not take no for an answer. I am particularly attracted to social justice issues involving women, youth and cultural identity. I have a great interest in culture and the arts, the environment and relationships between disparate groups of people. The stories I seek are usually about resiliency and how people make chaos into order or not. I have a Canon c-100 camera and can go anywhere with it.

About James T.

I like this business. There’s always something new, and I never get tired of the work. I’m based in St. Paul, MN, but my work has taken me all over. For a few years, I kept busy shooting MonsterQuest, for the History Channel. I've also been involved in indie documentaries, including two that I've produced myself. From exotic jobs, like chasing a baboon through the woods or flying alongside a Skycrane, to more typical ones, like interviews and instructional videos, it’s always interesting. I come prepared, I work hard, and I keep smiling.
