Daniel Goldhaber is an American director, screenwriter, and producer. In 2018, he directed CAM, a psychological thriller set in the world of webcam pornography. In 2022, he co-wrote, directed, and produced How to Blow Up a Pipeline, an adaptation of the non-fiction book How to Blow Up a Pipeline by Andreas Malm.

Career

Goldhaber attended Harvard University where he completed the Visual and Environmental Studies film program.[1] While still an undergraduate, he wrote, produced, and directed the short film Bad Kid, which was selected as a short film of the month by Cinephilia and Beyond.[2] He also worked as an assistant editor on Chasing Ice, the Academy Award-nominated documentary about the Extreme Ice Survey.[3]

Goldhaber's first feature was the 2018 film CAM, a Netflix original movie produced by Blumhouse Productions starring Madeline Brewer. The Guardian called it "an excellent exploration of personas and projection online,"[4] and The New York Times said it "upend[ed] the typical thriller trope of the sex worker as helpless victim"[5]

In 2022, he wrote, produced, and directed How to Blow Up a Pipeline, and adaptation of Andreas Malm's 2021 nonfiction Verso book, also called How to Blow Up a Pipeline.[6][7] The film will premiere in the Platform Prize program at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.[8][9] It stars Ariela Barer, Kristine Froseth, Lukas Gage, Forrest Goodluck, Sasha Lane, Jayme Lawson, Marcus Scribner, Jake Weary, and Irene Bedard.[6]
