Director Biography - Kyle Hausmann-Stokes

Kyle is an LA-based director of commercials, video and digital content.

Like all filmmakers, he got his start in the US Army...as a paratrooper.
With cutting-edge Hi-8 technology, Kyle would film his unit's monthly airborne jumps and tank maneuvers then cut together (totally rad) videos to share with his battle buddies.
Following the military Kyle traveled the world, worked/studied abroad, graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, created a production company, co-founded a nonprofit, and has been working in the advertising space ever since.
Kyle is originally from Madison, WI, enjoys fly fishing, Balderdash and dog parks.
