Contributing Writer. Filmmaker Daniel Robin began making Super-8 and 16mm films about himself and people close to him in the early 1990’s while he lived in San Francisco, California. These films enjoyed considerable festival screenings, including ones at the Sundance Film Festival on three occasions, with my olympic summer winning the Grand Jury Prize for Short Films at Sundance in 2008.
In 2000 he forged a path within the new frontier of web video, creating the Website www.neighborhoodfilms.com. For the past several years Robin has put up over 70 short 2-4 minute episodes that make up four distinct neighborhood series. A new series is due to be released in coming months.
Robin is the recipient of grants for his work from: The Princess Grace Award Foundation, San Francisco Arts Commission, The Fleischaker Foundation, Film Arts Foundation and Apple, and in the 2008, he earned a spot on Filmmaker Magazine's 25 New Faces of Independent Film. Currently he lives in Atlanta where he teaches documentary film production at Georgia State University.
