Jed Dannenbaum is a non-fiction film writer, producer and director.

His historical documentaries on newspaper editor/civil rights advocate Ralph McGill and evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson have been broadcast on PBS, and his “making of” programs—on movies directed by filmmakers such as Woody Allen, James L. Brooks, Cameron Crowe, Jonathan Demme, Nora Ephron, Michael Mann, Rob Marshall, Mike Nichols and Martin Scorsese—have appeared frequently on HBO and Showtime, and on DVD. Some of his recent work, for example, can be seen on the DVDs of Almost Famous, Collateral, Everest, Memoirs of a Geisha, and Miami Vice.

He co-authored the Simon & Schuster book Creative Filmmaking From the Inside Out.
