Frank Dutan

Frank Dutan was born and raised in New York City, a city of more than 8 million stories, including the one of his own parents' sacrifices. Moved by this, Frank developed an interest in storytelling and has since graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he studied journalism and natural resource conservation. He wants to integrate a humanist perspective to storytelling where stories are told from a bottom-up perspective. He enjoys cycling, hip-hop music and documentary films.
