Kevin Kauffman

Kevin Kauffman’s got a wild filmography, bouncing from grim war zones to surreal thrillers and even dipping his toes into offbeat comedy. In “Fog of War” (2025), he cranks up the intensity, unraveling the chaos and confusion that comes when soldiers are dropped into a battleground where the lines between friend and enemy blur so badly you don’t know who you’re fighting for anymore. It’s heavy stuff, loaded with raw emotion and those split-second choices that literally change lives, sometimes in the worst way. The whole thing feels like a punch to the gut, honestly. Then there’s “Clawfoot” (2023). This one’s a trip—part psychological thriller, part home invasion, all wrapped up in a slick, stylish package. You’ve got a seemingly normal suburban couple, but things get seriously twisted when an unexpected guest crashes into their lives, and suddenly, nobody’s sure who’s the real threat. Kauffman keeps you guessing, messing with your head, and just when you think you’ve got it figured out, he yanks the rug right out from under you. “How Hard Can It Be?” totally switches gears. It’s a comedy, but not the fluffy, forgettable kind. He digs into the daily grind, poking fun at ambition, failure, and the ridiculous hoops people jump through to get what they want. Kauffman’s humor’s sharp—sometimes biting, sometimes just straight-up ridiculous—but it’s always rooted in real life. Across all these films, he refuses to stick to one genre or play it safe. He’s not afraid to get weird, dark, or just plain honest, and that’s what makes his work stand out.
