About Dan

Writer / Producer / Director / Line Producer / Production Manager / and former stand-up comedian from Rochester, New York (near Buffalo). Growing up in a snow bank filled with discarded Buffalo Bills memorabilia, Dan was forced to find the lighter side of life and began writing and performing comedy at a young age. Dan moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to study improvisation at The Groundlings, and spent his first years in LA acting & doing stand-up comedy before becoming established in production. He has performed in & produced live stand-up comedy shows in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Las Vegas, New Orleans and more. More recently, Dan has worked with Miramax Films (including 5 features on-production and 7 other films as part of the studio's in-house production team in 2022-'23), as well as Scott Free Productions, FilmNation, IPC, Netflix, and others.

Included in this slate is "Through the Desert" an original comedic VFX thriller written by Lawler which he also intends to direct; Dan's production company, Snow Day Conspiracy owns all rights. After years of making other people’s movies, Dan is excited to now be making his own.
