Bold Director Ezra Hurwitz trained as a dancer with the New York City Ballet, but a serious back injury side-lined him from performing and Ezra decided to explore filmmaking. By the time he had recovered, he was already directing for major cultural institutions like the Guggenheim Museum, New York Times, American Ballet Theatre and Lincoln Centre. In a short number of years, Ezra has built a prolific body of work – including short films, music videos and commercials for brands such as Bailey’s, Burger King and DoorDash. 

In 2020 he made the film ‘Inside & Outwards’, narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker, with music by Sufjan Stevens which went on to win an Emmy.  His video for Sufjan Stevens’ “Sugar” also received a Webby Award nomination, a Ciclope Award, AICP Award, and was featured in Indie Wire as among “The Best Music Videos of 2020”. Ezra is currently developing his debut feature about non-binary ballet dancer Ashton Edwards.
