Danny O'Malley is an Emmy, Grammy, and James Beard-nominated film producer. For nearly a decade, Danny O'Malley has been a driving creative force behind Netflix’s longest running series, Chef's Table, where he serves as an executive producer and director. This year he received an Emmy-nomination in the category for Outstanding Documentary Series.
Beyond Chef’s Table, Danny’s mission is to change the way science is seen on the big screen. In 2023, O'Malley released his first feature, Canary, which tells the story of the “real-life Indiana Jones,” Lonnie Thompson — a pioneering climate scientist who defied convention by excavating ice from the tops of the world’s tallest mountains. The film, which was shot on a glacier at an elevation of 18,000ft, played on over 150 screens across the world including two encore screenings at the climate conference COP 28. In 2024, the film took home the Jackson Wild Media Award for Best Feature.
Now, O'Malley is channeling his signature character driven storytelling into unexpected projects ranging from independent films to scripted series to the investigative comedy podcast Jacob Reed and Me which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2025.
