Ryan Kautz
I am an experienced human rights video editor and producer with over two decades of experience dedicated to creating powerful content that drives social change. My expertise spans the entire video production lifecycle, from hands-on production and advanced post-production to strategic delivery for diverse audiences.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of managing complex projects for prominent non-profit, legal, and advocacy efforts in over 20 countries. This includes roles like a Senior Video Editor and Producer for WITNESS, where I amplified human rights advocacy, and as a consultant for high-stakes legal cases, where I meticulously edited video for evidence in court proceedings.
My passion lies in leveraging digital storytelling to drive engagement and inspire lasting change. I am highly proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite, including Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop, and I have a proven ability to lead on-location production and editing workshops, empowering activists and communities to tell their own stories.
