About Ina

TEDx speaker, award-winning documentary filmmaker and internationally published multimedia journalist with solid editorial and photography background. Launched my career in 2006 as freelance arts & culture reporter; specialized in documentary filmmaking at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, where I won the 2012 duPont/Judy F. Crichton Award for visual storytelling. My passions lie with the world's diverse cultures, their unique traditions and expressions, and the people who make them come alive. I aspire to do work that educates, empowers and inspires, hopefully breaking down cultural barriers and taboos, and showing the beauty of life. Favorite stories: video profiles of fascinating characters who provide a glimpse into the diversity of the human experience and raise questions about our society, attitudes, beliefs. Born in Bulgaria, I've lived around the world and am fluent in four languages. I moved to Jamaica in 2015, where I'm making films, raising a son and teaching at the UWI Community Film Project.
