Photographer Ivan Kashinsky takes us on a behind-the-scenes journey into the lives of Bolivia's women wrestlers known as Cholitas. The story is based on the September 2008 National Geographic story. The film follows the experiences and lives of three different women who have become icons in their country whose amazing story not only represents an amazing and unusual lifestyle - but also represents female empowerment in a country with traditional male dominating values. Aurora Photos, a stock photography agency headquartered in Portland, ME, has announced the launch of a west-coast video and motion production company called Aurora Novus. The new business will focus on creating motion picture and interactive content for current and potential clients seeking to brand an online identity through visual storytelling. “Embracing the current shift towards online storytelling seems clear. Providing high-quality content for this community is a natural linear extension of what we already do as a top-tier visual provider.” Stated Jose Azel, president of Aurora Photos.

The creation of Novus is a partnership with Ian Shive, who will join Azel, and Corey Rich, vice president of Aurora, in leading the company. Shive, a former motion picture industry publicist with a decade of experience working on such films as the Spider-Man franchise, Pursuit of Happyness and over 60 other major movies, will oversee the growth and creation of the company’s innovative West coast-based projects.
