Danny Wagner is an independent filmmaker based in Los Angeles. A Charlottesville native and an alum of the University of Virginia, his work is rooted in the environment of Central Virginia and the south. Raised by a pair of documentarians, the tools and practice of filmmaking have been a constant in his life from a young age. While a student in UVA's cinematography course, he found an obsession in shooting on antique 16mm cameras, the iPhone 6 Plus, and basically nothing in between. His team's films received honorable mention in the Adrenaline Film Project in both 2016 and 2017, and one of his shorts was an official selection of Virginia Film Fest in 2017 and SmartPhilm Fest in 2018. After graduating, Danny moved to Los Angeles and began working in TV production for studios like Warner Media and Paramount Global, as well as low budget/indie film. During the industry shutdown in 2020, he retreated back to Charlottesville, and started developing his first feature, For the Taking.
