Chicago, Illinois (Issuewire.com) - Amr Kawji is a video journalist and creative producer based in Chicago. He is putting his production approach in front of more organizations that need clear, story-led video without hiring a full crew. Kawji researches, scripts, shoots, lights, edits, and publishes every project himself, and he sometimes presents on camera too. His portfolio and services are at amrkawji.com.
Kawji was a 2024 Daytime Emmy nominee for Outstanding Daytime Short Form Program. The nomination was for his work as a video producer and editor on LinkedIn's Catalyst series, a documentary series about leaders who are changing their industries.
"I research, script, shoot, light, edit, and publish, and sometimes I'm the one on camera," said Amr Kawji. "Because one person carries the story from the first interview to the final cut, nothing gets lost between departments. Clients get one point of contact and a finished piece that sounds like them."
