About Kelley

Kelley Cauthen is a filmmaker and AI video artist with more than 20 years in post production for major studios and streaming platforms. As VP of Post Production at Paramount Kids & Family, he led editorial, sound, color, VFX, and delivery across scripted and unscripted series, features, and specials. Before that, he shaped post for AwesomenessTV and Awesomeness Films during the rise of digital-first storytelling, and spent nearly a decade as a hands-on editor and post supervisor across features, series, and unscripted television.

Kelley studied filmmaking as a Directing Fellow at the American Film Institute, and generative AI has brought him back behind the camera. Now studying GenAI filmmaking with Curious Refuge, he's combining two decades of professional craft — pacing, story, sound, color — with the newest tools in the medium to create original AI-driven work.

He lives in Southern California with his wife Dana and their two cats, Fluff and Kona.
