Preserving stories that shape our collective memory.
We are a documentary film company preserving stories that shape our collective memory.
Who We AreFor over four decades, Daedalus Productions has been at the forefront of independent documentary filmmaking—telling stories others won’t, with a depth others can’t. Founded in 1980 by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Nina Rosenblum and writer/producer Daniel Allentuck, Daedalus is committed to exposing injustice, preserving cultural memory, and elevating unheard voices through powerful visual storytelling.
We create documentaries that challenge, reveal, and endure.
With a legacy that spans collaborations with PBS, HBO, and international broadcasters, Daedalus has produced landmark films on subjects ranging from Holocaust resistance to American photojournalism, civil rights to mass incarceration.
Our mission is not commercial. It’s historical.
Not to entertain, but to illuminate.

A legacy retold. A silence broken.
A reminder of why we fight—with cameras.
