Morgan Spurlock

A graduate of NYU’s class of 1993, Morgan Spurlock is a documentary filmmaker, producer, and screenwriter. He is the director of Super Size Me (2004), a film which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004, winning Best Directing honors. The film went on to win the inaugural Writers Guild of America best documentary screenplay award as well as garner an Academy Award nomination for best feature documentary.

Several of his other documentaries, including Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008) and POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (2011) have screened at the Sundance Film Festival. He is the creator of the reality television series 30 Days (2005), and is the director and star of the CNN documentary series Morgan Spurlock Inside Man.

What Spurlock liked about going to NYU Film & TV was that if you wanted to make a film, here's your idea, great, but now you have to hustle and raise the money yourself to make it. There's a real independent spirit that is bred into you at New York University.
