Kevin Ford is a filmmaker and cinematographer with 25+ years of documentary and narrative work, split between two roles: writer-director-DP-editor on his own films, and hired DP, producer, or editor on larger productions for other directors.

On his own work, he's built a body of experimental and personal documentary — including Everything Is Stolen (2024, with Ellar Coltrane, Best Documentary at the International Avant-Garde Cinema Awards) and By The River (2016, produced by Adrien Brody) — often returning to the same collaborators across a decade or more.

As a for-hire craftsman, he's produced, shot, or edited some of the past decade's more notable documentaries: Sr. (2022, Netflix — Best Documentary, National Board of Review; producer/DP/editor under director Chris Smith and producer Robert Downey Jr), 67 Bombs to Enid (2025, co-directed with Ty McMahan and executive produced by Errol Morris — Best Documentary, deadCenter), The Bomb (2016 — co-directed with Eric Schlosser and Smriti Keshari, opening night Berlinale, closing night Tribeca), and American Chaos under director Jim Stern (2018, Sony Pictures Classics).

Kevin started in music documentary in the late '90s — co-directing the Jane's Addiction film Three Days (Slamdance 1999) and shooting concert footage for 311, Bush, and Stone Temple Pilots — and that instinct for finding a story inside chaos has carried through into work on nuclear policy, political division, and the criminal justice system.

He is equally capable leading a project start to finish, or slotting into someone else's production as a top-tier DP/editor who elevates the footage he's handed. His credits with Netflix, Sony Pictures Classics, and repeat collaborators like Brody and Robert Downey Jr. speak to reliability on both fronts.
