About DAN AS A DIRECTOR
"I want THE audience To leave feeling inspired."
Dan Napoli is an award-winning independent Producer, Director, Editor, and Music Supervisor based in Omaha, Nebraska.
He has gained acclaim for his work as a filmmaker on two dozen documentaries, including 50 Summers: A Minor League Baseball Documentary and Best Kids In Texas (both available on Amazon Prime.
As a director, he focuses on telling niche stories from the worlds of sports and music with emotional and heroic tones while taking viewers into a sub-culture or world they might not typically be exposed to.
"I want audiences to leave watching one of my films feeling good. I want them to come away with an appreciation for both the world we took them into, and for the individuals they just spent 90 minutes with. I hope the audience leaves inspired, and then maybe they go create something, and make some good in the world themselves."
