Azza Cohen (she/her) is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and founder committed to using film and digital media to amplify underrepresented voices. She most recently served as the official videographer and director of video for Vice President Kamala Harris in the White House. Azza’s work focuses on human-centered storytelling, queer and disabled representation, and narratives that challenge and expand societal perceptions.

A Knight-Hennessy Scholar, Azza earned an MFA in Documentary Film and Video from Stanford, an MA from the University of Galway as a Mitchell Scholar, and a BA from Princeton. Her work has been featured in The New Yorker, at Academy Award-qualifying film festivals, and in major advocacy campaigns. 

After suffering a concussion in college, Azza has navigated the film industry despite, as her neurologist points out, doing a job that exacerbates her debilitating migraine condition. After leaving the White House, Azza and her wife Kathleen founded Cohen Borschow Media, a film production company dedicated to shifting perspectives, deepening empathy, and building a more inclusive world — one story at a time. She lives in Washington, D.C., with her wife and their rescue dog Rex.
