Daniel V. Masciari is an award-winning filmmaker based in New York who unearths magic in seemingly mundane moments of the human experience.
The son of an Italian immigrant, Masciari grew up outside of Boston in a neighborhood of new arrivals to America from all over the world. This variety of characters and subtle differences fueled his imagination and sense of humor. Fascinated with film's unique ability to earnestly and intimately tell stories, at age eleven Masciari started shooting and directing his friends on the small Canon ZR-100 camera his parents gave him. By twenty-two, Variety selected Masciari as one of 110 students who "represent the future of film, media and entertainment." Two years later, he had already edited his first feature film, which was profiled in Filmmaker Magazine.
Masciari's love of film runs throughout his spellbinding work. His films are imbued with a level of detail that sneaks up on audiences, blending offbeat comedy and compelling human emotion.
Masciari recently wrote, directed and edited his first feature film, "Stationed at Home", a hypnotically charming work in the final stages of post-production. The black and white film, which takes place over just one serendipitous night, is inhabited by funny, moving and eclectic characters living in an utterly relatable, otherworldly forgotten city.
