About

Kevin Diaz
KEVIN DIAZ
Media Professional · Fort Lauderdale

I'm a creative media professional with hands-on experience in video production, live broadcasting, and post-production — trained at Broward College's Film Production Technology program.

From directing live multi-camera broadcasts and international summit coverage, to shooting and editing a documentary exploring South Florida car culture, I bring a trained eye and a calm presence to every project I take on.

I complement my production skills with a strong leadership background in fast-paced operations — which means I'm just as comfortable calling shots in the control room as I am coordinating a crew on set.
