My name is Hedayatullah Noori, a reporter, cameraman, video editor, and technician. I was forced to leave Afghanistan with my wife and four teenager children because I had worked as a technician, cameraman and reporter for 13 years for Voice of America in Kabul. I have resettled in Silver Spring, Maryland. I am authorized to work in the United States. I am very interested in finding a job that will allow me to use my skills here in the U.S. and to support my family. As you can see from my resume, I studied electrical engineering and computer science in Afghanistan, but due to my interest in the press, I started working in the media in 2003 for an Afghan newspaper, Hewad, and then for Afghan National Radio and Television as a reporter and cameraman. In 2008, I began working for Voice of America and did so in several capacities. In addition to working as a reporter and camera operator, I also have experience in video editing. You can see samples of my work at the links below. For each of them, I prepared the script, shot the videos, and did post-production editing myself. I am very flexible and eager to learn. I am a hard worker and I would very much appreciate an opportunity to speak with you about potential employment.

My journey through the world of journalism has been a compelling odyssey, capturing pivotal moments in history and amplifying the voices of the unheard. From the tumultuous events of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution to the electrifying atmosphere of the 2014 Brazil World Cup, I've woven narratives that traverse continents and cultures. My lens has not only focused on global events but has also delved into the intricacies of human rights struggles. I've illuminated the struggles of indigenous and immigrant communities in the United States, shedding light on their challenges and aspirations. Through my work, I've transported viewers to the heart-wrenching aftermath of the Christchurch Mosque mass shootings in New Zealand and the impassioned streets of the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States. Amid these defining moments, I've also dedicated myself to unearthing the truth. Following the cataclysmic explosion at the Port of Beirut on August 4th, I've meticulously chronicled its reverberations, capturing the resilience and strength of the Lebanese people. My commitment to frontline reporting during the Arab Spring in Egypt was recognized with a prestigious nomination for the Rory Peck awards. In 2019, I was bestowed the honor of the Bronze Telly Award for my unwavering documentation of immigration issues in the United States and Mexico, a testament to my dedication to storytelling. In my role, I directly collaborate with clients, ushering their video projects from conception to fruition. My responsibilities encompass the entire spectrum of production, from envisioning and strategizing to scripting, storyboarding, crew coordination, and shooting. I orchestrate aerial visuals through my role as a documentary-style drone operator, a realm where I'm licensed and insured by the FAA. My nimble flight craft of choice includes the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and DJI Mini Pro 3. I craft cinematic narratives through aerial and gimbal-based videography for diverse commercial clients. Moreover, I extend my expertise to the world of FPV drones, leveraging the DJI FPV and DJI Avata to create breathtaking and exhilarating videos through a first-person perspective. My journey is an embodiment of my unwavering commitment to storytelling, one that constantly evolves while preserving the core of human experiences and aspirations.

Hello! My name is Nacho Corbella and storytelling is my passion. I love shaping a story, shooting and been in the field, interviewing, and everything else content gathering entails. There's something athletic in the act. You put your whole body and mind into it. It's exhausting but tremendously fulfilling. I enjoy enormously assembling the puzzle of what a multimedia story is. Reviewing and selecting material, deciding which asset is best to convey what the story portrays. It's like writing, but far better. You can have the most beautiful images and incredible bits of audio, but if you don't know how to order them and ultimately make sense of them for the viewer, it's useless. It's like loose words on a piece of paper. That's what I love about editing: you're creating a language. It's a full on mind game. Multimedia is the type of work that I love engaging with and doing, but also the type of work that I think is meaningful and can promote change. I firmly believe is a medium that can reach people and spur them to understand issues fully and, consequently help bring change, especially when done with dedication and quality.
