Ian Kavanaugh

Creative Producer


I'm a creative producer with over 10 years of experience across development, production, post-production, and project management, spanning film, television, documentary, branded, advertising, and corporate content. Roots in low-budget documentary television sharpened my ability to execute creative vision without losing sight of the bottom line.

Years in film development and production at 20th Century Fox and Netflix made me a versatile, empathetic collaborator. I worked not only with studio partners across physical production, post-production, finance, product, and marketing, but also alongside writers, directors, producers, and agents. The studio taught me to carry a high volume of projects while keeping each one aligned with a larger brand vision. Production companies gave me the inverse: a tighter slate, deeper focus, and hands-on responsibility at every level.

I've been on both sides of the pitch table, evaluating as a buyer and selling as a production company. Having worked across nearly every major stage of the content pipeline, I'm uniquely positioned 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.
