About Me

I'm Danny Sklar, a creative producer, writer, and editor with a passion for crafting compelling video content. From the fast-paced world of live television to the dynamic landscape of digital media, I thrive on bringing stories to life and connecting with audiences through impactful visuals and engaging narratives.

​

My journey in the entertainment industry has taken me through renowned networks like NBCUniversal and Paramount, where I've led creative projects for major brands such as WWE, NASCAR, and Nickelodeon. I specialize in developing and executing promotional content, from on-air promos and social media campaigns to live event coverage, and am well versed in all aspects of production from concept to completion. Whether it's writing a captivating script, directing a dynamic shoot, or meticulously editing a project to perfection, I'm dedicated to delivering high-quality work that exceeds expectations. My experience extends beyond traditional television, encompassing the creation of viral social media content that has garnered millions of views, demonstrating my understanding of digital platforms and audience engagement. As a multi-award-winning producer and Emmy nominee, I'm a firm believer in the power of storytelling and the ability of video to inspire and connect.
