Welcome to the new Daniel Halden.com – homepage of award-winning actor, filmmaker and activist Daniel Halden.  Stay tuned for updates!

Check out No Contest, the film I made with my old friend and collaborator Rob Herring. Last night, it won the Audience Award at the No-Budget Film Festival in Los Angeles. The NBFF is the brainchild of the folks at the Ahimsa Collective, an awesome group of artists based in Westwood.

Our short was filmed literally in three days for absolutely no money. Given those constraints, I’m very pleased with the product. Exciting things are now to follow because of it. Stay tuned!

Check out Dan as he co-hosts the pilot for indiefilms.com – an independent cinema themed entertainment news show executively produced by Matty Beckerman and Logan Burdick.  We got interviews with Oscar-nominated directors Lee Daniels (“Precious”) and Jason Reitman (“Up in the Air”) – so be sure to check it out!

More info after the break!

Five Years Later, the indie feature Daniel shot last summer, premiered last night in Philadelphia. The film is in the process of being submitted to film festivals around the country, so stay tuned!
