About the Writer
Daniel Kremer grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and lives in San Francisco, California. While residing in Philadelphia and New York City, he wrote and directed many films of both short and feature-length. The black-and-white super-16mm feature-length narrative A Trip to Swadades and the autobiographical documentary short subject Yarns To Be Spun on the Way to the Happy Home have been screened in international film festivals and across the country, and both have won many awards (including a Best Feature Film prize, the Motion Picture Award and three Best Documentary prizes, respectively). In 2011, he directed his second feature, the acclaimed The Idiotmaker's Gravity Tour, filmed predominantly in India. In 2013, he started shooting feature films in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is currently in post-production on Ezer Kenegdo and Raise Your Kids on Seltzer, both due out in 2015.
