Acclaimed director Lenny Dorfman has joined up with Hungry Man Productions for global representation. His ability to capture a visually compelling and emotionally charged narrative has given Lenny the opportunity to direct spots the world 'round for brands like Nike, Coca Cola, IBM, Volkswagen, Mercedes, and GE to name but a few.

A New Yorker from birth, Lenny dove head first into the filmic pool at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and then went on to graduate school at the American Film Institute (AFI). He started his professional career shooting & directing documentaries. His first films Dancing With Angels, The Lost Cowboys and The Youngest Cowboy, were commissioned by Canal Plus France and broadcast and distributed globally. Dorfman developed and directed the pilot episode to Sundance Channel's critically acclaimed television series Iconoclast, that featured Tom Ford + Jeff Koons. The series ran for six seasons and has been distributed globally. Dorfman scripted & directed a film and ad campaign starring French football legend Zinedine Zidane on behalf of Qatar's historic 2022 FIFA World Cup bid. The emotional film combined the most intimate with the historic, capturing the essence of sport's ability to bring people together and was credited as playing a critical role in bringing the World Cup to the Middle East for the first time.

More recently, Dorfman directed campaigns for Chase for McGarry Bowen, Bank of America for Y&R, New York Lottery for DDB & Verizon for McCann NY.

Lenny has won most of the industry's highest awards, including Gold Lions at the Cannes Advertising Festival, D&AD, The One Show, The AICP/MOMA, BTAA and was nominated by the Director's Guild of America (DGA) for Best Director of the Year.
