AARON KALISCHER-COGGINS
About me
I'm a documentary filmmaker based in Washington, DC. I focus on human-centered stories about the environment, politics, tech, and culture. I'm currently a video producer at The Nature Conservancy, where I create short documentaries focused on TNC's work around halting climate change and biodiversity loss. I specialize in collaborative storytelling, working with communities to help tell their conservation stories, from groups facing human-wildlife conflict, to pollution, to ecosystem disruption. I handle end-to-end video creation, scripting, producing, directing, shooting, and editing. Social videos I have created and hosted at TNC have received over 12 million views.
Before TNC, I spent three years at The Hill as a senior video producer, where I led production of short and long form video programming on subjects including politics, the environment, inequality, science, and technology.
Previously, I worked as a director, producer, cinematographer, and editor for documentaries, branded content, and non-profit advocacy films and videos for organizations like Discovery, CNN, AJ+, United Nations, Greenpeace, Wildlands Network, and many more. I also ran a production company, Tributary Productions, that creates independent short and feature documentaries.
I also specialized in the production of VR/360 films for DiscoveryVR and production companies and media companies.
In 2015, I graduated from Wesleyan University with Honors in Film Studies.
