Producer/Director/Cinematographer from Brooklyn, NYC. Now residing in the Bay area. Freelancer for KQED Arts & Sciences. Currently commissioned by the Oakland Museum for 3 films about West Oakland set to screen in july 2016 til 2017. Back in NYC I was Producer for two seasons of a TV show called "Behind the Unsigned" for FuseTV. The show was a reality-docu series that profiled unsigned talent receiving notoriety independent of a record label deal. Soon after I created my own indy series called "Say Something Worth Something", SSWS for short. It was a play on the MTA transit slogan "If You See Something Say Something". It profiles artist and creators in the NYC Metro area that I felt deserved a platform. The series was picked up by Complex mag. and AfroPunk Festival. This series is what garnered the attention of KQED. I really enjoy working on docs long & short. I have a feature length doc on gender identity I completed this year in the role of Lead DP called "We Exist".

As a kid I was sure of one thing: when I was older I was going to be a Ghostbuster. I was going to haul my Proton Pack and Ghost Trap around in the Ecto-1, live in an old firehouse, and save my hometown from the tyranny of paranormal beings, three of my best buds in tow. When I came to learn that Ghostbusters weren’t real, but were instead fictional characters created for a movie, I did the rational thing and made my first and only career move into film making. The logic being, maybe I couldn’t be a Ghostbuster, but I could help make them… and hopefully meet one. Before attending film school I toured the country playing rowdy punk music with my non-Ghostbuster best buds. I gained a lot of experience on the road and through it accustomed myself to being exhausted, uncomfortable, and sometimes starving all the while chasing after creativity as fast as our beat-up van would go. I eventually made my way to San Francisco where I attended the Academy of Art University and studied cinematography. I again found myself in a state of lacking human comforts, but overflowing creatively. As a result of that experience and the connections I made within my program I was able to get myself onto set working as a First AC on numerous films, commercials, and music videos, leading me into my current role as a Director of Photography. As such, I practice technically adept filmmaking with a focus on igniting the imagination and pulling on the heart strings of my audience, the kind of film making that would make anyone want to be a Ghostbuster.

After more than two decades telling stories, sharpening my skills and leading others in the craft — I’m still inspired myself by the power of the medium. Most recently, as Managing Editor for Video & Audio at McClatchy, I led a team of journalists producing impactful daily and long-term projects. The team was a scrappy startup inside of a legacy media organization. We developed new workflows, trained staff and tackled technology challenges. Our video producer team worked with reporters, editors and photographers at the Miami Herald, Sacramento Bee, Kansas City Star — reaching new audiences in powerful ways. Our high impact team told the story behind the Miami Herald’s investigation of Jefferey Epstein - Perversion of Justice. The team also explored the conditions at the U.S./Mexico border with the Emmy award-winning Wait at Matamoros for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In Sacramento, the documentary S.A.C. tackled the fallout from a police shooting that led to protests and community soul-searching. Prior to McClatchy, I was part of the America’s Heartland production team for KVIE Public Television. America’s Heartland chronicled the story of American agriculture for more than a decade. I traveled the U.S. (and world) as a producer and reporter for the show. Awards 2020 Lone Star Emmy Award: The Wait at Matamoros 2016 Northern California Emmy Award: Yes!

After a decade in the film & video industry, Dan realized that in a web-centric world, the captive audience that broadcast commercials took for granted no longer exists. He believes that authentic, entertaining, and meaningful content is what drives people to share a story--not a powerpoint slide filled with value propositions. He started Slow Clap in 2014 with the hopes of having an outlet to tell stories authentically; something he rarely got to do once he left film school. Dan was trained at NYU, where he received a B.F.A. in Film Production from the Tisch School of the Arts. He originally grew up on the Main Line of Philadelphia, but has lived in San Francisco’s Mission District since 2008. He’s collaborated with hundreds of brands like Sony PlayStation, Capital One, TNT, Apple, Google, Norton, Campari, Blue Shield of CA, and Environmental Defense Fund. His short films have appeared in festivals like SF DocFest, Oxford International, Cannes, and others. When you ask his team, they will tell you that Dan is the first to acknowledge when he’s wrong. It’s that sense of integrity and transparency that has helped him grow Slow Clap and keep clients happy. And these core values carry through into the work. What Dan loves most about running his own business is the collaborative relationships he has with his clients. Always open to brainstorm a new project, or contribute to an existing campaign, he loves developing and producing stories in a truly collaborative way. Dan won’t mention his interests outside of work, because Slow Clap is his passion and it keeps him busy around the clock. But if you spend any time at the office, you will definitely meet his better half, Rahel, who’s the secret sauce of Slow Clap’s success.

I'm a San Francisco-based storyteller working for a more equal and integrated society. I'm dedicated to challenging taboos and illuminating truths by giving voice to marginalized populations through film. I am in the post-production phase of my SF Film Society-sponsored short documentary, There Is a Place, about a musician who visits various Alzheimer's care facilities in the SF Bay Area. The film explores how contributing to a collective musical sound within a circle of peers brings out presentness, playfulness and a sense of connection in the face of memory loss, loneliness, and the end of life. Aside from my personal film projects, I've worked with corporate, nonprofit and solopreneur clients to deliver compelling videos that serve their messages. These projects include both documentary-style and narrative shorts, and I drive these projects from creative story development to production, direction and post-production.

I am a documentary filmmaker, directing feature length documentary films. I have been working with social justice groups to create media to tell their stories for 12 years. I have produced hundreds of short videos to be shared online. I have been creating media around worker's strikes, election campaigns, etc so I am used to producing videos on tight deadlines. Much of the work I do has a press component; I often provide interviews, photos & broll reels to press. In 2010 when my work supporting immigrant rights communities in my home state of Arizona drew national coverage, I began getting freelance assignments for radio, PBS Jorge Gestoso Investiga, CNN Espanol, NBC National, TeleSur, Democracy Now, Bill Moyers and Al Jazeera's Faultlines (line production). I am an editor so I capture professional video/ audio with all of the components to tell a story. I came to video journalism through advocacy media but I understand the difference.
