Arun Chaudhary (born November 6, 1975) is an American political operative and filmmaker. After serving on President Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, he was asked to become the first official videographer of the White House, a position he held from 2009-2011.[1] He left in August 2011 to join mobile-messaging startup Revolution Messaging as senior vice president of communications.[2] He later served as Creative Director for Senator Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign.[3]
Chaudhary is perhaps best known for his ability to bring art into the world of political campaigns. In an interview with Disruption Magazine, David Axelrod, his manager from the 2008 presidential campaign, said, “We hired Chaudhary for his artistic eye... He was able to contribute a compelling and authentic story to voters and that proved invaluable.”[4]
