Jeremiah Crowell is an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker and member of the Directors Guild of America. His latest project, HBO’s The Anarchists, is streaming now.
Recently, he directed Generation Hustle on HBOMax for Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions and was the showrunner of Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak on Netflix, a verité documentary series that was described as a “globe-trotting thriller” by the LA Times and “informative, inspiring, visually stunning, and a great piece of storytelling” by The Guardian.
Other recent projects include The Last Defense (ABC), an investigative documentary series about two likely innocent people on death row, which he executive produced and directed. Hailed by The New York Times as a “powerful argument that people can be convicted as much by emotion as by the evidence,” the show has subsequently brought much-needed national attention to both these individual cases and to the inequities of the American judicial system, writ large.
Jeremiah’s directorial debut, Small Collection, premiered at Sundance and won eight “best of fest” awards on the festival circuit.
His creative vision as a director has led networks and production companies to seek him out to launch series such as the multi-Emmy-winning A Crime to Remember and Emmy-nominated Brain Games.
Jeremiah’s mission is to tell stories that encourage people to recognize our shared humanity in service of making a more just world for all of us.
He was raised in Northern California, lived on a commune during his formative years, earned a degree in religion and philosophy at Columbia University, and now lives in Brooklyn with his two sons.
