Brittan Dunham is an archivist and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. She co-produced and managed the archive for Matt Wolf’s PEE-WEE AS HIMSELF, which premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and will be available on HBO later this year.

On both JUNE (2023, Paramount+), the Grammy nominated documentary about June Carter Cash, and IT’S ONLY LIFE AFTER ALL (2023, Netflix), which tracks the decades long career of folk rock duo Indigo Girls, Brittan worked with the musicians’ personal archives to craft intimate stories in the artists’ own voices.

Her other credits include TEMPLE OF FILM: 100 YEARS OF THE EGYPTIAN THEATRE, Abigail Disney’s THE AMERICAN DREAM AND OTHER FAIRY TALES, and the Emmy-winning documentary FREE CHOL SOO LEE (MUBI). As a researcher and archivist she has helped develop other character-driven documentaries such as the Emmy nominated THE BEE GEES: HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART (HBO) and Emmy winning LUCY AND DESI (Amazon).

She was the founding Archive Director at Parkwood Entertainment, and Archivist to Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, contributing to the visual albums BEYONCÉ and LEMONADE, two iterations of The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, the On The Run Tour (and subsequent tour film), Formation World Tour, and HOMECOMING. With Brittan’s help, Beyoncé’s signature during this period became the use of multi-format, nonlinear personal archival footage to create intimate, referential film and music poems.

Brittan has a Master of Arts in Moving Image Archiving and Preservation from NYU and produces the Association of Moving Image Archivists’ annual Archival Screening Night, which has aired on Turner Classic Movies.
