Daniel Lombroso is a director and journalist who spent the past nine years building the Oscar-nominated video departments at The New Yorker and The Atlantic. His debut feature, White Noise, based on his four years reporting inside the white power movement, was named one of 2020鈥檚 best documentaries by Vox and The Boston Globe, and one of the 鈥25 films that explain America鈥 by The Guardian. His upcoming feature film, Manhood, explores the booming penis enlargement industry as a raw, intimate lens on masculinity, body image, and male mental health.
Together, White Noise and Manhood form the foundation of Lombroso鈥檚 first book, supported by the 快活app官网 Fellowship. After a decade embedded with neo-Nazis, incels, body hackers, and men remaking themselves through surgery and ideology, he鈥檚 ready to tell the wildest, most disturbing, and revealing stories鈥攎any for the first time in text. The book will be a gonzo-style memoir: surreal, darkly funny, and unflinchingly reported鈥攁 portrait of American manhood in collapse.
Lombroso鈥檚 work has premiered at Sundance, TIFF, and SXSW and has earned eight Vimeo Staff Picks, two National Magazine Award nominations, two Livingston Award nominations, an International Documentary Association nomination, and a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
