Daniel Karslake is a renowned American director and producer whose work has garnered widespread acclaim for its thought-provoking exploration of social justice issues. His latest project, For We Know Not What We Do, is a sequel to his award-winning feature, For the Bible Tells Me So, and delves into the use of the Holy Bible and the U.S. Constitution to discriminate against LGBT Americans under the guise of "religious freedom".
Karslake's most recent film, Every Three Seconds, presents compelling and accessible solutions to extreme poverty and hunger worldwide. The documentary challenges viewers to question why, despite having all the necessary solutions, we are not taking more decisive action to eradicate poverty and hunger. Karslake began working on Every Three Seconds in the fall of 2008 as a visiting scholar at Stanford University.
Before Every Three Seconds, Karslake directed and produced For the Bible Tells Me So, a feature documentary that explores the intersection of religion and homosexuality in America. The film premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and was short-listed for a 2008 Academy Award. Additionally, it won nine "best documentary" audience awards at major film festivals globally, has been translated into 22 languages, and was recognized by Entertainment Weekly magazine as one of five documentary films that have changed the world.
Prior to his work in film, Karslake was a producer for the long-running news magazine, In the Life, which aired on PBS in over 140 markets nationwide. He received an Emmy nomination from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in recognition of his work.
Karslake is the founding president of DK Works, a production company dedicated to creating high-quality, thought-provoking theater, television, and film. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in public policy from Duke University.
