Melloweb is a multimedia production company based in Durham, NC. under the direction of award-winning filmmaker Rodrigo Dorfman.

Rodrigo Dorfman’s first exposure to the transformational power of  documentary filmmaking was in 1985, when he worked as a sound man and production assistant for Teleanalisis, an underground Chilean video news gathering agency. At the time Chile was under a military dictatorship and this agency collected information outside the regular tightly controlled military channels for distribution to the outside world and for use in the poor communities, allowing Chileans to see uncensored news about their lives. This experience marked him for the rest of his life and gave Rodrigo a palpable immediacy and urgency to the emotional and aesthetic blue print of his future work.

Rodrigo Dorfman has a long-life experience of working with  communities at the margins of society. From producing cross-border plays between San Diego and Tijuana, to bringing multimedia financial education to the North Carolina Latino community and working with  various communities with disabilities, trauma and exile,  Rodrigo Dorfman believes in the power of the  collaborative documentary experience  to facilitate a sense of community and belonging.

Melloweb is dedicated to the creation of independent feature films and digital educational documentaries in cooperation with NGO’s, educational and grassroots organizations, visual artists, film companies and private institutions as a means to develop  intercultural, social, scientific  and political communication. In the past Melloweb has worked with PBS, POV, R.F. Kennedy Center For Justice and Human Rights, Duke and UNC-CH Universities, TakeRoot.org, Walltown Children’s Theatre, Durham Arts Council, NC Arts Council, Levine Museum of the New South, SAF, National Farm Worker Ministry, El Futuro, Voices Together and the Latino Credit Union among others.
