Background

About Henry Kinder

I'm a filmmaker based between Brooklyn and Berkeley, interested in telling stories about all of the mysterious and messy ways people rub up against their immediate environments. I produced and directed, Desert Mourning, a short non-fiction film about the ongoing conflict over the borders of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah. The film premiered at the 2020 Telluride Mountainfilm Festival; more info can be found here: desertmourning.com I also works as a senior creative producer for Even/Odd, overseeing an internal slate of Special Projects. In prior lives, I've been a staff producer at People’s TV as well as the associate producer on the Emmy-award winning documentary, ‘Panic: The Untold Story of the 2008 Financial Crisis’ for VICE on HBO. My work has been featured in festivals across the nation, and online on platforms such as tv, the Shiny list, Grist.com, Brooklyn Vegan, and Wine and Bowties. I'm a member of the filmmaker’s collectives Filmshop and the Video Consortium, and in 2025 received a SFFILM FilmHouse Residency.
