Daniel Maldonado- Co Writer/Director/Producer

Daniel is a multi award winning filmmaker who through the early exploration of identity, found his reality through the lenses of contrast. Since then he's found success in the many genres he's crossed.

While attending the School Of Visual Arts & working for acclaimed NY producer Ben Barenholtz (BARTON FINK), Daniel’s persistence paid off earning him several film grants as well as acceptance into the prestigious Actor’s Studio observation program. During these formative years in which he built a strong foundation, he wrote/produced and directed several diversified short films. This includes his first short BUTTERCUP, which toured German movie theaters in 1997 & 1998 as part of the “BLUE HEARTS OF N.Y.” traveling festival of short films (distributed by MOP Distribution, Germany.)

Since then, Daniel's short films have done well on the festival circuit, earning recognition that includes many regional screenings throughout the U.S.  along with a premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival.  Daniel finished the festival circuit in 2011 showcasing LALO, which picked up the award for BEST SHORT FILM at the HBO/NY Latino International Film Festival (2009) and went on to be nationally broadcast on the SiTV/Nuvo Tv cable network.

Currently Daniel is showcasing his experimental works in galleries & museums abroad. He's  also back on the festival circuit with his first narrative feature, titled, H.O.M.E. starring Imagen winner, Jeremy Ray Valdez, Broadway’s Angela Lin & the extraordinary Ariel winning actor, Jesús Ochoa. Since its premiere in the Spring of 2016 at the Museum Of Moving Image in NYC, H.O.M.E. has been well received with much press & multiple festival awards.
