About Penny S.

I've done just about everything in video production, but what I do best is tell stories.

About FAKHRUDDIN A.

In the era of “Fake news,” many people don’t know what is fact and what is fiction. As a political journalist, I play a critical role in researching and presenting the truth about politics so people can easily comprehend various levels of government.

About Deepi A.

I worked in advertising before becoming a visual artist, first as an account executive then as an art director. After moving to a tropical island (true story), I took a little detour and went to culinary school, working in professional kitchens along the way. Eventually, I hung up my apron and started shooting and writing about food. My passion for photography, motion and writing became culinary storytelling, and my tools for self-expression. As I continue to evolve and broaden my scope as a storyteller, I lean on each discipline—art direction, culinary arts, photography, writing—to help guide my work and my vision. Bold ideas thrill me as do colour and print, drama and whimsy. I'm equally passionate about the potential of a strong, stand-alone image as I am about the creative components in a captivating film. I'm based in Toronto + Los Angeles and create everywhere. Let's make some killer work together.

About Elizabeth B.

About Sandra B.

I have worked in Canada and the U.S. for public radio and TV - National Public Radio and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. I am a collaborator and have worked with PBS Frontline, ProPublica, the Center for Public Integrity, Reveal News, the ICIJ and Swiss TV. I am a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and a former board member of the Global Investigative Journalism Network. The work I have done has shone a light into the dark corners where bad behavior, incompetency and dishonesty hide. I tell the stories of the ordinary person who isn't being heard. A recent story on cybercrime revealed how your on-line bank account can look normal while criminals are stealing your money or how they can lock up your computer and force you to pay a ransom. Another story showed how young workers in Asia who make your phone, your tablet, your computer are getting cancers because they work with chemicals that have been banned in western countries. My strengths lie in being organized, thinking ahead and keeping things moving towards the goal posts. I can be obsessed but in a good way, and only on projects.
