Dan Trachtenberg
Dan Trachtenberg (born May 11, 1981) is an American director, writer, producer, and podcast host. He made his feature film debut with 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016), earning him a Directors Guild of America Award nomination for Outstanding Directing – First-Time Feature Film. He went on to direct and provide the story for the Predator franchise films Prey (2022), Predator: Killer of Killers (2025), and Predator: Badlands (2025). For television, he directed the pilot episodes of The Boys (2019) and The Lost Symbol (2021), as well as episodes of Black Mirror (2016).
Trachtenberg was one of three hosts of The Totally Rad Show podcast and a former co-host of the Geekdrome podcast. He also directed episodes for the Ctrl+Alt+Chicken podcast. All three programs were hosted at Revision3.
Trachtenberg grew up in the Willow Grove/Upper Moreland area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is Jewish. He has an older brother who is a film editor.
Trachtenberg's parents instilled in him a love of movies and fostered their son's artistic ambitions. When he was three years old, his mother helped him make a Star Wars video using action figures, toys, and kitchen utensils. Unable to see PG or R-rated movies as a child, Trachtenberg would imagine the films in his mind. He would also read novelizations of films and buy film soundtracks. His parents also hired an art student to teach him how to draw comics.
He attended Cheltenham High School. One teacher would host movie nights which was influential in making Trachtenberg a film buff. During his high school years, he worked a video store at the Willow Grove Park Mall and took screenwriting and directing classes on weekends at the University of the Arts.
Trachtenberg majored in film, graduated from Temple University in 2003.
Trachtenberg has directed commercials for Lexus, Nike, and Coca-Cola. In 2003, he directed the short film Kickin'. In April 2008, he joined Tight Films, for which he collaborated with Matt Wolf on an alternate reality game for Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
He directed the internet show, Ctrl+Alt+Chicken.
