Kevin Ford is a filmmaker who often works as a director, co-director, producer, DP, and editor — sometimes all at once. Over thirty years, moving from New York to Austin to Los Angeles to Oklahoma City, his films have premiered at Telluride, NYFF, AFI, SXSW, Tribeca, and Berlinale.

He got his start in late-'90s rock 'n' roll co-directing the Jane's Addiction feature doc Three Days with Carter Smith and shooting concert videos for 311, Bush, and Stone Temple Pilots.

Today, much of his work relies on a unique blend of documentary and experimental filmmaking. Everything Is Stolen with Ellar Coltrane earned Best Documentary at the International Avant-Garde Cinema Awards. The Pushback, produced by Richard Linklater, was an official SXSW selection and won three awards at El Paso Film Festival, including Best Director.

Kevin also works closely with other filmmakers: he spent three years filming Robert Downey Sr. through the last chapter of his life, working with director Chris Smith as producer, DP, and editor on Sr. for Netflix — named Best Documentary by the National Board of Review. He shot and co-produced American Chaos with director James Stern for Sony Pictures Classics, and he co-directed and edited The Bomb with author Eric Schlosser and Smriti Keshari, which was showcased at the 2018 Nobel Peace Awards, and was also the opening night selection of Berlinale 2017, and the closing night selection of Tribeca 2016. He has also spent years collaborating with Adrien Brody as co-director, DP, and editor on another feature project, Stone Barn Castle.

Kevin’s most recent feature doc, 67 Bombs to Enid — co-directed with Ty McMahan, about Marshall Islands nuclear-test survivors who resettled in rural America — won Best Documentary at deadCenter and premiered internationally at Thessaloniki, with Errol Morris executive producing.
