Dan Schneidkraut is a writer/director/editor and sometimes camera operator currently residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A recipient in 2010 and 2016 of a McKnight Fellowship for Media Arts and the 2015 Creative Capital Award, he has been recognized primarily for his experimental narrative projects (Seeking Wellness, Invincible Force ) but recently delved into the documentary form with a personal exploration of fatherhood and the death of record stores entitled Old Man. His work has been called “very peculiar” (Star Tribune 2016), “unsettling” (Pioneer Press 2016), “uncomfortable to watch” (Urban Cinephile, 2009), “sublime yet terrifying” (Filmstock, 2008), “stunningly depraved” (Melbourne Underground, 2009) and “the kind of thinky/sadistic exercise that even the dark prince of psychological horror Michael Haneke might find difficult to watch” (City Pages, 2008).
