Dan Abramovici

Dan Abramovici is an actor/filmmaker and immigrant to Canada. This background has shaped in him an interest in stories that question identity, and explore a life on the spectrum. After graduating from the Canadian Film Centre’s prestigious Actor Conservatory (one of only 8 actors selected that year), Dan wrote and starred in first feature film: Ben's At Home. The film picked up numerous awards, including Best Feature at the Canadian Film Festival, an Audience Choice award at Gasparilla, and a Canadian Comedy Award. After securing distribution with PNP, the feature had a successful theatrical run in Canada before being made available on Netflix in 2017. Abramovici’s next feature script, You Have Feet In Your Shoes, picked up a Top 10 award at Cinequest, where Laurence Kasdan (Star Wars, Indiana Jones) and Dennis Lehane (The Wire, The Drop) served as writing mentors. In 2019 Dan began to work behind the camera. liminal, which he wrote and directed, won the Best Short award at Canadian Film Fest and Snowdance International film festival, as well as an Honorable Mention at the Oscar-qualifying Dances With Films Festival. It went on to play more Academy Qualifying festivals such as HollyShorts, DC Shorts, Dublin, Newport Beach, BendFilm, and Raindance. Dan's new film as director, Play It Again, is playing the festival circuit. The LGBTQ+ comedy about unrequited love recently premiered at the Austin International Film Festival where it picked up the Jury Award for Best Short. When it finishes its festival journey, the film will screen on Omeleto, to an audience of over 5million subscribers. Coming up in 2023, and currently in post production, is Spaceman. The surrealist short, and companion piece to liminal, stars Academy Award Winner JK Simmons (Spiderman, Whiplash, Juno). Dan is currently looking for funding for his new script, LEOPARD, which was recently awarded as a quarter-finalist at the Slamdance Film Festival and Nashville Film Festival, a finalist at Screen Craft, and is also the Blue Cat Screenplay Competition, and Austin International Film Festival.
