Kaiden Hancock is a documentary filmmaker and producer. She creates films that explore the interconnection and humans and nature, and understanding how the two exist in harmony.

Originally from a small town in Central Florida, Kaiden’s connection to the environment and wilderness is a long-standing and evolving relationship that was fostered by a childhood spent outdoors in ‘wild Florida’.

Relying on observational and cinema vérité tactics as well as more experimental approaches, her work moves beyond that of a traditional documentary. Her films often watch the subjects and allow life to happen both in front of and beyond the lens of the camera that never leaves her side, whether that is a cinema camera or her grandfather’s trusty 35mm camera.

Kaiden also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Media Arts from The University of Tampa and is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Science and Natural History Filmmaking from Montana State University.
