Biography
Morgan Spurlock is the writer/producer/director of the Academy Award nominated film Super Size Me. The feature length documentary film was named to more than 35 “Top Ten” lists in 2004 and is currently the 8th highest grossing documentary of all time. The film was also awarded the inaugural Writers Guild of America Documentary Screenplay Award, and the Best Director Prizes at the Sundance and Edinburgh Film Festivals.
In 2006, Spurlock’s New York based production company, Warrior Poets, was named to Reel Screen Magazine’s Global 100 – which listed the top 100 producers of non-fiction entertainment in the world.
Also in 2006, Spurlock and Arts Alliance America created a film and distribution partnership which releases films – theatrically, on television and on DVD – that they see as groundbreaking and important films that had been overlooked by the majority of filmgoers. Their first film, the Independent Spirit Award nominee, Chalk, a
mockumentary about school teachers, premiered theatrically in the summer of 2007 and was followed by the Confessions of a Superhero (2007), Czech Dream (2007), Class Act (2007), The Future of Food (2007), The Third Wave (2008), and What Would Jesus Buy? (2008).
Spurlock has finished filming the third season of his highly acclaimed F/X original series 30 Days. The show examines social issues in America by immersing individuals in a life that requires them to “see the world through another’s eyes,” and has been praised by such diverse groups as the Muslim Public Affairs Council and the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law. In 2006, the series was nominated for a Producer’s Guild Award and won a GLAAD Media Award for best non-fiction television series.
