Biography

Daniel J. Egbert is a student Emmy nominated filmmaker, a finalist in the 2024 PAGE International Screenwriting Awards, and 2023 Academy Nicholl Fellowship. He is the 2021 recipient of the Richard P. Rogers Spirit Of Excellence Award For Directing presented by AFI Fest, and one of twelve directors selected for the seventh annual CAA Moebius Showcase. Originally from New York, Daniel left home at seventeen to join the United States Marine Corps Infantry. He served four deployments including both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Daniel’s work explores loss of control, and how trauma complicates but beautifies the human experience—through themes of inadequacy, rage, and rebirth. Daniel earned an MFA in Directing from the AFI Conservatory. His films while in attendance were nominated for the KODAK/UFVF Excellence In Filmmaking Award, garnered twenty-one nominations and ten wins, including six Oscar Qualifying selections. Daniel is a writer for CBS Studios/Paramount+ and is represented by CAA and Wildflower.
