Danny Chicon-Ramirez is a Latino screenwriter, director, and actor whose stories focus on larger than life characters. Using his signature brand of comedy and surrealist elements, Danny explores themes of cultural identity, hypermasculinity, and familial relationships inspired by his upbringing in the Lower East Side of New York City.

 

Within just a few years, he has been accepted to a number of fellowships within and has collaborated with media organizations such as Hook Arts Media, FabNYC, and Loisaida Inc. His filmography has seen him selected to a variety of film festivals for projects such as JULIO: The Julio Irving Story About Julio Irving Starring Julio Irving (yes, that is the full title) and Have A Good Night.

 

Above all, Danny looks to connect audiences through laughter, tell stories of shared human experience, and create better representation for Latiné and other minority communities. He has a B.A in Media Studies from Hunter College, where he earned a reputation for being loud enough to be heard three from three floors up. Since then, he has learned to use his inside voice.
