Dan Klein is a two-time Emmy Award–winning director, writer, and producer known for his narrative judgment and steady leadership in high-stakes storytelling.

His career began in investigative and long-form documentary work, earning his first Emmy for ESPN’s Outside the Lines and directing multiple acclaimed films for HBO Sports, including the Emmy-nominated A City on Fire: The Story of the ’68 Tigers. He later received his second Emmy for Miracle in New York, along with multiple nominations for documentary projects developed for HBO, and other networks.

Over time, Dan has brought that same documentary rigor to brand storytelling — partnering with agencies and brands including Porsche, Travelpro, PayPal, UPS, Bloomberg, and others. His work spans national campaigns, cultural moments, and politically sensitive initiatives, always grounded in narrative clarity and careful creative judgment.

As founder of Dan Klein Films, Dan remains directly involved in shaping every project, bringing senior perspective and creative discipline to moments that carry weight.

He is currently directing and executive producing Four Perfect Corners, a feature documentary about the most expensive sports collectible ever sold at auction.
