Tim Hussin is a graduate of the University of Florida where he studied journalism and environmental science. While in school he interned at the Monroe Evening News, Deseret News and the Rocky Mountain News. After graduating, he interned with MediaStorm and National Geographic Magazine.
Tim was named College Photographer of the Year by the Missouri School of Journalism in 2009 and placed first in the 2009 Hearst Photojournalism Shootout in San Francisco, California. He is currently on a cross-country bicycle trip documenting modern folk movements around the United States.
Tim was a summer intern at MediaStorm in 2009. Here is what he had to say about that experience:
My intern experience at MediaStorm taught me how to craft nuanced and compelling stories that help audiences feel empathy toward the lives of others. This experience was a catalyst for me to become a documentary filmmaker.
After MediaStorm, I set off on a two-year bicycle trip through the American South making a documentary about people living in unusual and creative ways. Today, I'm a filmmaker and photographer in San Francisco, and I mostly work on character-driven stories that speak to national and global issues.
