Dan Barnett, Co-Director/Producer
Dan Barnett was born and raised in Salt Lake City Utah. At a very young age he fell in love with storytelling and captivating an audience with his homespun stories. In high school Dan took an AV class and found a vehicle that made tangible the visual images he saw in his mind. He realized that he wanted to tell visual stories for the rest of his life. He then went to film school and learned how to make short narrative films. Of these many were comedies and they were received with a great deal of laughter and applause. Happy Valley was Dan’s first experience in the documentary world. There he witnessed the power of an individual’s story to transform the world around them. Dan immediately fell in love with storytelling for the purpose of having a profound impact in the audience’s lives. He has chosen to continue with that purpose in all future projects.
