About

I’m a visual journalist in San Francisco. Currently I work as a Video Journalist & Producer with BBC News. I’ve also produced for CNN, The Washington Post, and Público, Portugal’s largest newspaper, as well. In 2022, I completed my master’s at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism after working for a decade as a commercial producer. My thesis documentary Hasta la última gota, following the fight for water and a new constitution in Chile, was published in The Intercept. The film also screened at the Mill Valley and Banff Mountain Film Festivals. I work in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

    Ben filmed a company event in Chicago and an interview series. He was gregarious, professional and flexible. Would certainly hire him again and glad to meet another Storyhunter!
