Dan Merchant made his debut as a documentary director (and jumpsuit-wearing bumper-sticker man) in Lord, Save Us From Your Followers—the product of an amazing three-year journey to the front lines of America’s so-called Culture Wars. Dan has (somehow) made a living by writing, producing, directing, and talking people into his ideas. Dan’s most recent book, the wildly successful Lord, Save Us From Your Followers, is the companion to the documentary. Dan also authored The Great American Stay At Home Wives Conspiracy. Dan also is an award-winning television writer/producer.

He was executive producer/writer of VH1’s critically acclaimed anthology series, Strange Frequency, hosted by Roger Daltrey. He was the creator of Soccer Moms, an hour-long drama pilot, and contributed to other shows including the pilot for Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Dan and his family live in the rainy woods near Portland, Oregon (it’s really dreary, so don’t move here; seriously, you wouldn’t like it).
