Joe Ballesteros(II)
- Editorial Department
- Additional Crew
- Producer
7+ years' researching, scripting, self-shooting, editing, and producing digital content. Strong background in journalism, international politics, and social justice activism.
I aspire to be a Development Researcher or Development AP in documentary, but as a keen writer and editor, I'd like to explore scripted projects too - as an Assistant Director, AP, or script team member.
I've gained good experience writing and story editing; whilst working as an Editorial Assistant at New Internationalist magazine, I published articles interviewing the national director of a social justice organisation in Colombia, as well as students and educators in the Alternative Provision sector in the UK. I also commissioned writers and edited submissions, did admin and helped fundraise. I also proofread for academic and contemporary fiction publications.
As basic forays into film, I produced and edited a documentary mini-series on Australian artist Ken Done. I also wrote, directed, produced and edited a short student documentary on commodity fetishism. I have experience using cameras, lighting, and audio equipment. Moreover, at the time I was the youngest Australian ever to found & produce a TEDx conference.
At heart I'm a communicator, and I've maintained long-term professional relationships. I love writing and storytelling, but I'm also very practised at following a brief. I'll take on any problem thrown at me.
