Hi! I’m Harriet Throsby. I’m drawn to personal stories and the conversations that bring them to life.

​

My work spans documentary filmmaking, journalism, and audio production, with a focus on real people and the worlds they navigate. I’m especially interested in process-driven storytelling — how media can create space for people to share their perspectives, in their own words.

​

Throughout my time at Duke University, I explored different corners of media and storytelling. I’ve interviewed a wide range of subjects — from fashion photographers to flea market vendors to school bus drivers — producing documentaries, podcasts, and investigative journalism that explore social issues and everyday experiences.

​

I’ve worked on original podcasts and live events at Tribeca Enterprises, and dove into branded production and editing at OBB Media in Los Angeles. Most recently, I created a short documentary on immigrant solidarity in Durham and reported a longform profile on a local bus driver organizing for better working conditions.

​

Right now, I just finished co-directing a music video in LA and am in the process of editing it. I’m excited to keep making work that’s personal, collaborative, and meaningful — and to keep growing as a storyteller along the way.
