Multiple Emmy and IDA award-winning filmmaker Erik Nelson has produced and directed a wide range of feature documentaries for “Creative Differences.” These range from producing four films with Werner Herzog (“Grizzly Man”, “Cave of Forgotten Dreams”, “Into the Abyss” and the Oscar®-nominated “Encounters At The End Of The World”), to directing “Dreams With Sharp Teeth” (2008) a biographical look at iconoclastic writer Harlan Ellison, and “A Gray State” (2017) a harrowing true crime look at the toxic culture of conspiracy. Nelson’s two most recent films, the immersive World War 2 documentaries “The Cold Blue” (2019) and “Terror and Glory: 1945” (2021), demonstrate the director’s range and ability to weave a provocative story out of exquisitely restored archive footage. Nelson’s latest film, “Daytime Revolution”, which documents the week in 1972 when John and Yoko Lennon hijacked a mainstream talk show, will be released in 2024.
