Daniel Lombroso is a director and journalist who spent the past nine years building the Oscar-nominated video departments at\u00a0The New Yorker<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0The Atlantic<\/i>. His debut feature,\u00a0White Noise,<\/i>\u00a0based on his four years reporting inside the white power movement, was named one of 2020\u2019s best documentaries by Vox and\u00a0The Boston Globe<\/i>, and one of the \u201c25 films that explain America\u201d by\u00a0The Guardian<\/i>.\u00a0<\/p>
His upcoming feature film,\u00a0Manhood,<\/i>\u00a0supported by New America, explores the booming penis enlargement industry as a raw, intimate lens on masculinity, body image, and male mental health. In tandem, Lombroso will use the Fellowship to start developing his first nonfiction book about American masculinity.\u00a0\u00a0After a decade embedded with neo-Nazis, incels, body hackers, and men remaking themselves through surgery and ideology, he\u2019s ready to tell his wildest, most disturbing, and revealing stories. The book will be a gonzo-style memoir: surreal, darkly funny, and unflinchingly reported\u2014a portrait of American manhood in collapse.<\/p>
Lombroso\u2019s 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.<\/p>
