Dan Mirvish is an American filmmaker and author, best known as the co-founder of the Slamdance Film Festival〔(Slamdance company profile )〕 and co-creator of the Martin Eisenstadt hoax during the 2008 Presidential election. In 2009, he co-authored the satirical novel ''I Am Martin Eisenstadt: One Man's (Wildly Inappropriate) Adventures with the Last Republicans'' published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux ISBN 978-0-86547-914-2. Mirvish directed the film ''Between Us'', based on the play of the same name by Joe Hortua. The four-person drama stars Taye Diggs, Melissa George, David Harbour and Julia Stiles. The original play premiered at Manhattan Theatre Club, and Hortua and Mirvish co-wrote the screenplay adaptation. The film version won the grand jury prize at the 2012 Bahamas International Film Festival, and was the Closing Night Film at the 50th Annual Gijón International Film Festival in Spain. The film had its world premiere at the Oldenburg International Film Festival, and also screened at such festivals as Athens International Film Festival, the Hamptons, Woodstock Film Festival, Slamdance Film Festival, Napa Valley Film Festival, and Whistler Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=IMDB Movie page )〕 In 2004, Mirvish spearheaded the effort to get the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences to reactivate their Best Original Musical Oscar category. In a controversial move, the Academy canceled the category after Mirvish and others submitted the requisite number of films, including two by Mirvish. Mirvish is widely credited as the discoverer of the Hathaway effect, which indicates that when actress Anne Hathaway is in the news, the share price for Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway increases. He was also a speechwriter for Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa. Mirvish's father, Dr. Sidney Mirvish, is a well-known cancer researcher at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.〔(UNMC.edu )〕 ==Filmography== * ''Between Us'' (2013)〔 * ''The Last Republican'' (2008) * ''Sheldon'' (2007) * ''The Few & the Proud'' (2007) * ''Half Empty'' (2006) * ''A Message from the President of Iran'' (2006) * ''Open House'' (2004) * ''Omaha (The Movie)'' (1994) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dan Mirvish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
