Evan Needell documentary editor producer
 THIS IS EVAN! THIS IS ME!

For nearly a decade, I’ve been working in the video space, with a specialty in producing and editing documentaries that aim to challenge, inform, and inspire.

I’ve worked on award-winning documentaries that have premiered at film festivals such as Sundance, SXSW and Tribeca, been commissioned by networks such as CNN and PBS, and are platformed by streamers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV. I’ve worn many hats over the years - from Line Producer to Post Manager to Editor (often all at once).

I love building things - budgets, timelines, stories - and thrive on collaboration, clear communication, and the beautiful chaos of nonfiction filmmaking. Whether I’m deep in an edit or navigating shifting production schedules, I aim to keep things moving with purpose, empathy, and a sense of humor.

If you're passionate about impactful storytelling and interested in working with me (or if you want to chat about hockey, D&D, or Pokémon), let’s connect!

Who does this guy think he is?
