Raegan Hodge makes films that advocate for positive change.
She specializes in producing films in developing and conflict countries such as Afghanistan, South Sudan, Niger, Rwanda, Ghana, Uganda, Guatemala, Thailand and Peru. She has tackled subjects such as food security, public health, women’s empowerment, education, sanitation and micro-finance. As a producer, she often works with highly technical program data and interprets that information into a communicative and meaningful film.
Raegan was cinematographer on the virtual reality film, Women on the Move, which screened at Sundance Film Festival and was an official selection at the South by Southwest Film Festival 2017. In the past five years, she has also created films advocating the ethical treatment of farm animals for Compassion in World Farming. These films have made an incredible public impact, reaching over 2.2 million hits and featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, Forbes, and John Oliver Show. In 2015, Raegan won a Silver Davey Award for her editing on the film on Foday Gallah, a TIME Man of the Year, for the I Survived Ebola Campaign.
A former whitewater raft guide, she turned her focus from adventure sports to the adventure of reality television. After graduating with a Masters of Fine Arts in Filmmaking, she began working as an assistant camera and shooter on many reality television shows including The Real Housewives of Atlanta and The Layover with Anthony Bourdain. Her independent documentary work showed as a part of the MLK Jr. Center’s “I Have a Dream” Series and at the United Nations in New York City. After she was chosen to go to Afghanistan for CARE in 2012, she has devoted her professional life to working with communities in need and promoting worthwhile issues that are underserved by the media.
