Hello there! My name is Spencer Bruttig and I am a Washington, D.C. based film producer, DOP and editor. I came out to DC from the SF Bay Area to help start a new documentary and podcast production company (Tegna and Vault Studios) but most recently joined Google as an in-house creative producer working on their marketing team. I am also the Cinematographer on the D.C. based narrative series "Anacostia," as well as the Baltimore Comedy series "Thespian." I am also the DP on the new reality television show "City Boyz DC." I have worked on sets big and small, and I have used a number of different camera packages from Sony FX and A series, to Red Weapons and Komodos, Canon C series and Black Magic URSAs. I am comfortable adjusting to any lighting and audio situation, and pride myself on creative and efficient filming and editing. P.S. I have my own complete lighting, camera and audio package and can be a one man band for projects as well.

With a strong visual eye and a creative mind, I approach storytelling like a puzzle. How can I bring this to life? How can I take a simple idea and give it a voice and a vision? How can I manage, coach and mentor people to think creatively and communicate more effectively? I’ve concentrated on these questions for nearly a decade, as I’ve directed, produced, shot and edited video in a variety of roles. As video director at MOKO Social Media, I developed an entire video department from the ground up. In just a few weeks, I’d built out a studio, coached staff and launched production. In a few months, I created seven video franchises specializing in fitness and politics to be sold and sponsored independently. At Voice of America I co-created and launched ‘People in America’ a new visual series and style of storytelling, diving deep in the lives and emotions of various individuals. From Andy Shallal, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, to Maz Jobrani, these are stories unlike others, almost like a candid sit down, allowing the audience to capture the true story behind names and faces. Leading and managing an amazing team of creatives to create moving and compelling stories! While in charge of managing, shooting and producing all newsroom studio shows at USA TODAY, I built successful video platforms with daily franchises for news, money and entertainment. I have worked with and trained many staff on proper storytelling. I’ve used my storytelling approach to field produce creative video packages at the Boston Marathon, SXSW Interactive, the State of the Union address, both 2012 political conventions and the Presidential Inaugural Ball, the Met Gala, and a number of awards shows, including the Tony’s and the MTV Movie Awards. My passion if Video Storytelling and making people connect with the stories they are watching.

I am an investigative journalist and a researcher with a unique set of expertise regarding Israel and Palestinian Territories. In 2017 I was a member of the Pulitzer Prize winning team for the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) “Panama Papers” project, and in 2020 I led the Israeli research of "Pandora Papers." My work, often data-driven and OSINT-based, appeared in Haaretz, Associated Press, Harper’s, ProPublica, Washington Post, Mother Jones, The Nation, Buzzfeed, Mashable , UK’s Channel 4 and other media outlets. I have also been featured in Netflix's blockbuster "The Tinder Swindler." During 2014 I was a fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, where I researched models for sustainable investigative platforms. I have wide array of investigative experience: from exposing corruption of top politicians, to tracking down shady practices of multinational companies and businessmen, exposing misconduct of security forces and tracing the footsteps of wanted criminals. I also direct, consult and mentor others on research methodology and strategy. Between 2016 to 2020 I worked with Videre Est Credere, a nonprofit documenting human rights violations in dangerous and hard to access parts of the world. I established Videre's Research Department and led teams across the globe. In 2021 I joined the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) to lead their Global Anti-Corruption Consortium (GACC.) My view of research is holistic: I do not think any one aspect of research can truly stand alone. Different components of research (OSINT, SOCINT, HUMINT.) should support each other to produce a better synergistic product. Sometimes a task would require recruiting sources and operating them, while in other circumstances information is gathered from a Facebook feed or public records.
