MY story 

My name is KEVIN HUFFMAN

I'm a creative and experienced storyteller.  Over the course of my 20+ year career I have produced, directed and written dozens of documentaries and feature stories for networks such as Netflix, Showtime, HBO, TNT, A&E, Discovery and National Geographic.   On nearly every series I am handed the toughest and most demanding episode.  

 

I also supervise story for high-end documentary series, which means guiding the reporting, directing in the field, mapping out each episode and creating season-long story arcs.   In essence, I stand in for the director and build the story.  

​

Several of my most successful documentaries have explored the deep problems facing the criminal justice system in America. I have taken viewers inside death row, behind the scenes of the parole system and onto some of the grittiest streets in the country.  

​

I've also interviewed and profiled public figures, scripted historical documentaries and delved into science fiction and created documentary podcasts.

​

I came up the old fashioned way – I research, field-produce, interview, write and post produce. I get notes and give notes.   

​

At the heart of my work is a practical and straightforward approach to mapping out a story and marshaling the forces to put that story on the screen.  I've developed a time-tested process that helps you streamline your story and get the most out of your shoots and edits. 

​

My goal  is to help the next generation of filmmakers to focus their story and have a great time, too.  It's fun to do this work!
