I love stories. I am a storyteller at heart, and telling unique stories drives me. We all relate in some form or another, and stories are the key to human connection. I make films to raise awareness among diverse audiences and inspire viewers to make positive contributions. For the past four years, I've worked as a film producer and editor on both local and international film shoots, including two feature documentaries. I work as a one-woman team to produce, shoot, and edit short format corporate films. I hunt for stories that humanize the marginalized, expose different angles of an argument, and impassion viewers to take action. I strive to help viewers understand people and emotions through beautiful images. I'm extremely hardworking and very adventurous. I enjoy taking artistic risks, challenging myself, and using my creativity to tell fresh, innovative stories.

My name is Rosa Amanda Tuirán and I am a Mexican documentary filmmaker, photographer and investigative journalist based in the Bay Area. I received my Master of Journalism from UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism in May 2020. I worked as a News Video Fellow at BuzzFeed News and was a National Association of Hispanic Journalists Fellow at CBS News in 2019. In March 2020, I was part of the COVID-19 reporting project with the Investigative Reporting Program and The New York Times to help meet the need for comprehensive reporting on how the Covid-19 crisis affected California. After graduating, I worked on a PBS Frontline investigation, and have continued to pursue independent work about climate change and insecurity in Mexico. In November 2020, I published an investigation in The Counter about a meatpacking plant in Southern California that illustrates the national failure of OSHA to protect workers. Longreads recently included the piece in their best COVID-19 reporting of 2020. This year I worked as a series Producer for OceanX about the wonders of the ocean and those who explored it and I produced a Ford Foundation-funded podcast series about the murder of journalists in Mexico.
