GORDON KLCO

Documentary Filmmaker

I'm a documentary filmmaker driven by curiosity and a commitment to human-centered storytelling. I create emotive, thought-provoking films that explore complex social and environmental issues through the lived experiences of those navigating them.

Drawing on my background in anthropology and journalism, I approach stories with rigor and empathy to reveal the deeper human truths that connect us. My experience as a producer, director, and cinematographer allows me to adapt to each production's needs, contributing technical expertise and creative vision in whatever capacity serves the project. I'm equally comfortable leading projects or collaborating with others to elevate their vision.

I seek creative partners who believe in the transformative power of documentary film and aren't afraid to dig deep in pursuit of meaningful work.
