Four-time Emmy Award-nominated filmmakers Seth Kramer and Daniel A. Miller are Ironbound Films. Headquartered in an old inn on the Hudson River opposite West Point, Ironbound creates documentaries for theaters, television, and major streamers. We produced and directed two documentaries now in theaters: Fiddler on the Moon: Judaism in Space, nominated for a 2025 Critics Choice Documentary Award for Best Short Documentary and winner of five “best short” awards at film festivals worldwide; and Israel Swings for Gold, about the Israel baseball team’s battles against antisemitism at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Some of our previous documentaries include:
Yung Punx: A Punk Parable (DOC NYC, Gravitas Ventures, PBS), which chronicles the meteoric rise of Color Killer, a punk band of eight-to-twelve-year-olds. SNL/Rick and Morty’s Chris Parnell narrates.
Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel (Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, Menemsha Films), about Israel’s Cinderella run at the 2017 World Baseball Classic. “It’s hard to imagine a true-life underdog tale more engaging than Heading Home,” raved the Los Angeles Times, “a winning David vs. Goliath baseball documentary that covers all the crowd-pleasing bases.”
The Anthropologist (DOC NYC, Argot Pictures, Gravitas Ventures), about a scientist researching the impact of climate change on indigenous communities. Hailed as “utterly winning” by the Los Angeles Times and “stealthily insightful” by The New York Times, The Anthropologist boasts a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Évocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie (Tribeca, Magnolia Pictures, CNN), about the titular talk-show icon. Évocateur was a New York Times Critics’ Pick and chosen in 2013 as best documentary by NY1, a top ten film by LA Weekly, and a top ten documentary by USA Today and the International Press Academy.
The New Recruits (PBS), which profiles social entrepreneurs in Kenya, India, and Pakistan using market principles to fight global poverty. Narrated by Rainn Wilson, The New Recruits was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Business and Economic Reporting.
The Linguists (Sundance, PBS), the world’s first look at endangered languages and how scientists help document and revitalize them. The first film funded by the National Science Foundation ever to premiere at Sundance, The Linguists was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Science and Technology Programming.
In addition, Seth was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Historical Programming for Resistance: Untold Stories of Jewish Partisans (PBS). Daniel was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Historical Programming for The Trial of Adolf Eichmann (PBS).
