Dan Beckmann
Traveling through Uganda and Rwanda with National Geographic Expeditions, this was a perfect "Backpack" project.  All elements were captured on a Sony A7Sii, a Go Pro Hero 10 Black, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. using both FilMic Pro and Apple's native camera.  All interviews were in natural light only.

Backpack Storytelling as a Digital Nomad.

My company, Yarn Faw, Inc., serves a collective of storytellers from around the world in the development & production of independent & feature films, national commercials, & international content/brand communications. Whether from offices in Florida or a unique location, like Hawaii, my "Digital Nomad" approach to storytelling allows me to lead the Yarn Faw team in bringing good stories to life through technology (and lots of great coffee).

The "backpack concept" guides our collective in choosing the smallest impact for the greatest outcomes. After years of globetrotting assignments, I realize customized solutions for changing environments fosters better results & more joy to otherwise stress-threatened creative endeavors.

Partnering alongside socially centric entrepreneurs & innovators, my experience, earned over decades of collaboration, supports visionary individuals as well as some of the most recognized brands in the world: Walt Disney World Parks & Resorts, National Geographic, Apple, History Channel, & Discovery Channel to name a few.
