Director
Dan Lindsay and his partner, TJ Martin have made some of the best documentary films in the last decade. The first film they made together, 2011's Undefeated, won them an Oscar and tells the story of a high school football coach in Memphis trying to keep his team together despite incredible adversity. On the show Dan talks about the pressures of winning an Academy Award at such an early stage of your career and he also discusses their next films which have met and exceeded expectations. LA92 is a wildly original film that chronicles the 1992 LA Riots using only archival material. The team followed up that film with Tina, the story of Pop Icon Tina Turner. Both of these films won Dan and TJ Emmy Awards. On the show we talk about how he and TJ work together as a partnership, the highs and lows they've experienced in their careers and we talk extensively about how Dan approaches storytelling, filmmaking and maintaining a career and work life that allows him to make the kinds of films he wants to make.
