Chandler Kauffman — director and producer
Director & Producer
Chandler Kauffman

I’m a director, producer, and creative director focused on documentary-driven storytelling for brands, ad agencies, and streamers. I’m drawn to stories at the forefront of how we live, whether big or small.

I studied film at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where I developed the foundation for a career rooted in both doc and comedic storytelling. A significant part of my work is in healthcare and life sciences, where I’ve collaborated with clients including Johnson & Johnson, Ember Health, MDCalc, Novartis, Sanofi, Regeneron, Takeda, Novo Nordisk, and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Much of that work centers on patient and provider stories, balancing clinical credibility with something more human.

My recent campaign for the New York-based ketamine clinic Ember Health was shortlisted for AICP Next in the Branded Content Series/Episodic competition. Outside of healthcare, I’ve directed campaigns and original content for clients including ABC, NBC, Netflix, Procter & Gamble, and Gerber. Early in my career, I was named one of ten notable new directors at Cannes Lions by the Commercial Film Producers of Europe. My documentary The Skisherman won the Documentary Competition at the Cine Gear Expo at Paramount Studios. My family and I split our time between Brooklyn and the Berkshires.
