About Kyle P.

I tell public health stories that shape a vision for improving the health of our neighborhoods. Public health has increased human life spans by 25 years in the last decade. This accomplishment was achieved with really simple changes - toilets, clean drinking water, vaccines, seat belts, smoke-free air. So why does this story take a back seat to stories of disease, hospitals, and insurance coverage? Behind each simple public health intervention is a group of invisible public health heroes. Together, they literally changed the trajectory of our lives. I find these storytellers, celebrate them, and add their story to a master narrative of health and wellness. We can make our communities healthier, we've done it, and we will do it again.

About Jonathan K.

Hi, I'm Jonathan. I'm a visual storyteller who believes the camera is a tool that can shake the foundations of power. I try focus the lens on people building a better world. I've worked and learned video production with some amazing organizations and programs. I owe them a lot for their guidance. As an alum of UW-Madison in Political Science, I became an elder fellow and producer/editor/DP at UW-Milwaukee's documentary program, doc|UWM. I then became an intern/production assistant with Al Jazeera's Emmy Award winning program Fault Lines. I worked as the Production Coordinator of the Emmy award winning Kennedy Center Honors Films. I was filming in Baltimore during the uprising after the police killing of Freddie Gray, when I was hired to work with The Laura Flanders Show - a economic and social justice program that focuses on solutions to systemic issues plaguing the United States. I eventually became a Senior Producer and Co-Creative Director of the show. My freelance work includes video and producing with AJ+, The Guardian, Fusion, Frontline, Voces de la Frontera, PBS Newshour, PBS (Quiet Pictures), the Center for Investigative Reporting, Voice of America - Eurasia, and National Partnership for New Americans. For the last five years I've been Co-Director, DP, and Co-Editor of the feature documentary film The Sacred and The Snake. Our film collective and I received the Storyhunter award for "Best Untold Story of 2016" for our reporting at Standing Rock with Fusion. We lived at the resistance camp from August 2016, until it was raided in late February 2017. We are incredibly grateful for the support of communities of Indigenous peoples and Water Protectors. It's been humbling. We've received support from The Milwaukee Film Brico-Forward Fund, The Berkeley Film Foundation, International Documentary Association's (IDA), Bay Area Video Coalition, IFP, Camden International Film Festival fellowship, and Doclands. I enjoy times with family, friends, and the outdoors. I am passionate about telling stories of risk takers and the fight, but definitely welcome lighter stories. I look forward to working with you and making something special together. All the best, Jonathan

About Stacey N.

Stacey Nash is a documentary filmmaker specializing in commercial and long-form storytelling for brands. She is a director with a producer's toolbox of skills - which means she easily balances the creative with the logical. Her ability to mine emotion out of any situation is her secret weapon – from the deeply emotional to the raucously hilarious. She can put anyone at ease in front of the camera and intuitively understands the big picture. ​She has won multiple awards for her work including an Emmy Award with NBC Olympics and the International Corporate Citizenship Film Festival. ​Will crush you at trivia on the topic of olympic sports but ONLY that topic. Very poor loser when it comes to card games - that last bit is unrelated to career highlights but important to know.
