Ian Kavanaugh
Creative Producer
I am a creative producer with over 10 years of working experience in development, production, post-production, and project management across film, television, documentary, branded, advertising, and corporate content. Beginnings in low-budget documentary television instilled me with an eye for executing creative vision under efficient cost. Years in film development and production at 20th Century Fox and Netflix shaped me in to a versatile and empathetic collaborator - I worked alongside not only my studio partners in physical production, post-production, finance, product and marketing… but also writers, directors, producers and agents. Working at production companies has allowed me to work on a slate of fewer projects with more granular focus and responsibility, whereas the studio taught me to balance a high volume of projects, with the goal of aligning project outcomes with the studio’s brand.
I have been on both sides of the creative pitch, as the buyer evaluating a pitch and a production company selling one. I have worked in nearly every major part of the content production pipeline, which makes me well suited to manage its entire life cycle.
I am currently available for work in creative production for a tech company or brand based in San Francisco or remote.
