About

Danni Mynard is an Emmy award winning, documentary filmmaker based out of New York. She works commercially as a Series Producer/Director and is currently in production on her first independent film, Milk and Honey.

Her most recent work includes TikTok, Boom. (World Premiere: Sundance Film Festival 2022), WeWork: or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn (Emmy for Outstanding Business and Economic Documentary), Pandemic, Hate Thy Neighbor and the Emmy nominated, Woman with Gloria Steinem. 

On Pandemic she travelled to Eastern Congo to cover the 2nd largest Ebola outbreak in history - embedding with WHO health workers as they attempted to curb a deadly disease in the middle of an ongoing civil war. Later in China she followed an infectious disease specialist trying to track a new, deadly strain of bird flu.

For Hate Thy Neighbor she tackled society’s greatest divides and brought viewers face to face with some of the most racist movements in the world; manoeuvring the stories through nationalist marches, the frontline of war in Ukraine, police brutality riots and the dark underworld of KKK swastika burnings in America’s Deep South.

On Woman, she led the team into Colombia as the 50-year civil war looked near to an end, gaining access to the terrorist organization, FARC and following the struggle and rehabilitation of female soldiers from the jungle back into society. 

She has produced/directed for Netflix, Hulu, National Geographic, Channel 4, BBC, Discovery, History, CNN and does not enjoy talking about herself in the third person.
