Dan Sackheim
Artist Statement
As a filmmaker, I’m inextricably drawn to the art of street photography. It’s an artform that stands apart from all others in its ability to see past the noise and commotion, of our daily lives, and past the too-many-to-count transitory events occurring on the fringes of our consciousness. Ultimately, it’s superpower lies in its ability to both isolate and freeze a one-in-a-million, blink of the eye moment in time, and by doing so strips away all the artifice to reveal an immutable and transparent observation of the human condition.
Bio
Daniel Sackheim is an Emmy Award-winning, Film & Television director and producer best known for his work on such critically acclaimed series as HBO’s True Detective Season 3, Game of Thrones, Ozark and The Americans.
Other credits include the Apple TV+ series Servant, Better Call Saul, Jack Ryan, The Leftovers, The Man in the High Castle, The Walking Dead, and HBO’s acclaimed Lovecraft Country.
Sackheim directed the Sony feature film The Glass House, starring Leelee Sobieski, Diane Lane, and Stellan Skarsgard, and produced The X-Files Feature: Fight the Future for 20th Century Fox.
He is a co-founder of Bedrock Entertainment, which produces prestige content for Streamers and premium cable platforms.
As a Photographer, Sackheim has completed a number of personal projects, including an homage to the infamous 1950’s Noir screenplay titled Slow Kiss. This project, a four-year endeavor, in collaboration with fellow Photographer Patrick Ecclesine. Time Travel, is a nostalgic look at LA’s iconic past. This series explores our subjective perception of time and the ways in which we feel its passage. Dan’s Genesis NFT from this project recently dropped on Super Rare. Dan’s Black and White series titled Unseen, takes its inspiration from the filmic language of Film Noir. It was this genre that initially stirred Dan’s love of storytelling and inspired him to pursue a life in the arts.
