Kevin Kunze (born 1989) is an American filmmaker and consumer rights activist. His most recent film, Disconnect is a feature-length documentary on cell phones and the possible health effects, which is based on a book by Devra Davis.

Kunze's films have screened at the New York City Directors Guild of America, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA), Casoria Contemporary Art Museum and the San Francisco Public Library. His previous film work includes collaborations with NASA Ames, Singularity University, Google, Android, Zynga, Branch Out, Girls in Tech, ONR, Iridescent, GKIDS / New York International Children's Film Festival, Microcinema International, and How-to Homestead. Kunze's films have been written about in New York Times, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, and Hollywood-Elsewhere.

Early life
Upon graduating from Bunnell High School, Kunze attended the University of San Francisco where he worked as a teacher assistant for documentary filmmaker Sam Green, the director of The Weather Underground and Utopia in Four Movements.

On January 18, 2008, Kunze uploaded a music video on YouTube, titled There Will Be Milkshakes, which is a montage of scenes from the original There Will Be Blood clipped together to the song Milkshake by Kelis. The video quickly became a viral video and There Will Be Blood director P.T. Anderson has said Kunze's film is "completely insane and hilarious." Lead actor Daniel Day-Lewis said in an interview, "If people absorb something you've done and people can make something else out of it, that's delightful to me. If you can offer up something that people can slag you for, they're always grateful for that."

Technology and Health Effects
In January 2011, Kunze began documenting doctors and brain tumor patients who felt long-term cell phone use contributed to their cancer. He filmed hundreds of hours of interviews with doctors and experts from the World Health Organization, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the California Environmental Protection Agency, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He also interviewed professors at the following colleges: Yale, Harvard, Stanford, USC, UCLA, UCSF, UCSD, UC Berkeley, University of Utah, University at Albany-SUNY, and others.

Other notable figures who spoke on the issue include Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Lieutenant Governor of California Gavin Newsom, author Tim Ferriss, State Senator Mark Leno, State Senator Leland Yee, San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos, former San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, and musician Steve Aoki.
