In this episode of Conversations with Daron Jenkins, we sit down with Emmy Award-winning film producer and author Dan DeFilippo to talk about his creative journey from Long Island to Los Angeles—and back again. Dan shares the inspiration behind his newest book, Montauk Dayz, which reflects his deep connection to the East End and his beginnings as a journalist for Dan’s Papers and The Montauk Pioneer. We dive into his work at the William Morris Agency, founding Pipeline Entertainment, and producing the remake of Francis Ford Coppola’s cult classic Dementia 13 for Universal Studios.

🎬 This is a must-watch for filmmakers, storytellers, and anyone chasing a creative dream.
