Dan Schneidkraut
Dan S is a writer/director/editor and sometimes camera operator residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A recipient of two McKnight Fellowships and The Creative Capital Award for Moving Image, Dan has been recognized primarily for his experimental narrative work. In 2013 he delved into documentary with a personal exploration of fatherhood, familial violence and the death of record stores entitled "Old Man," described by film scholar Jack Sargeant as "an exceptional and poetic work." In 2015 Dan shot his second feature documentary, "Vore King," a detailed portrait of R.P. Whalen, world famous horror host, trash movie guru, carnival sideshow barker and America's premier purveyor of vorarephilia fetish pornography. Shortly thereafter Dan suffered a traumatic brain injury and subsequently his projects have become smaller in scale and more introspective.
