Brittan Dunham is an archivist and filmmaker. Her projects center memory work as a means of connection with the past, ourselves, and each other.

Brittan co-produced and managed the archive for Matt Wolf’s Emmy-winning PEE-WEE AS HIMSELF, which premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and is available now on HBO Max.

On JUNE, the Grammy-nominated documentary about June Carter Cash, and IT’S ONLY LIFE AFTER ALL, which tracks the decades long career of folk rock duo Indigo Girls, Brittan worked with the musicians’ personal archives to help 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, the Emmy-winning docs FREE CHOL SOO LEE and LUCY AND DESI, and the Emmy-nominated THE BEE GEES: HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART.

She was the founding Archive Director at Parkwood Entertainment, and Archivist to Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, contributing to the visual albums BEYONCÉ and LEMONADE, The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, the On The Run Tour and 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 is a member of the Association of Moving Image Archivists and the Archival Producers Alliance. She believes in preserving authenticity and transparency in media, and ensuring public trust in archives.
