Daniel Lombroso is a director and journalist who spent the last nine years building the Oscar-nominated video departments at The New Yorker and The Atlantic. His debut feature film, WHITE NOISE, based on his four years reporting inside the white power movement, premiered in 2020 to critical acclaim. It was named one of the year's top documentaries by Vox and The Boston Globe. His short, AMERICAN SCAR, received an Honorable Mention for the Grand Jury Prize at DocNYC and was nominated for a National Magazine Award. His latest film, NINA & IRENA, is Executive Produced by Errol Morris and was one of the most decorated short documentaries of 2023. Lombroso’s work has premiered at Sundance, TIFF, IDFA, and has been recognized with eight Vimeo Staff Picks, two National Magazine Award nominations, an IDA nomination, and the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
I run a boutique production company at the intersection of journalism and film. Leveraging our deep rolladex in film and TV, we develop original movies, TV shows, and other forms of IP, and bring them to market through our relationships with festival programmers, buyers, and magazine editors. We are repped by WME.
I directed documentaries and commissioned outside filmmakers. My work for The New Yorker explored topics including the U.S.-Mexico border wall, eleciton denial, food insecurity among Asian-American communities, the war in Ukraine, plastic surgery addiction, and the Holocaust. These films premiered at the world's top film festivals and were recognized with some of journalism's highest prizes, including two National Magazine Award nominations.
I was hired out of college on a one-year fellowship, eventually working my way through promotions to a role where I directed and produced some of The Atlantic's biggest films. I directed and reported the magazine's debut feature film, "White Noise," which premiered to critical acclaim.
