Jordan Kronick
Director / Producer / Writer



Jordan Kronick has been making film and television documentaries for more than a decade. Currently, for The Documentary Group, Jordan is directing and producing a film about West Point’s graduating class of 1967. Jordan is also overseeing a series of short films for the US Army about labor challenges facing its officer corps.

In earlier projects, Jordan was a producer of STEEP, a feature documentary about the world of big mountain skiing. An official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival, the Telluride Film Festival and AFI FEST, STEEP was released by Sony Pictures Classics in movie theaters across North America in the winter of 2008.

Prior to STEEP, Jordan was a producer on three documentaries with Peter Jennings for the ABC Television Network: UFOs: Seeing is Believing, a two-hour film about the possibility of intelligent life existing somewhere else in our galaxy; Ecstasy Rising, a one-hour report about how ecstasy came out of nowhere to join marijuana, cocaine and heroin as one of the most widely used illegal drugs in the US; and The Kennedy Assassination: Beyond Conspiracy, a two-hour special marking the 40th anniversary of the President’s death. This program won the Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Documentary.

In 2000, Jordan joined ABC News to work on Peter Jennings Reporting: Family Business, a two-hour documentary examining the lives of presidential candidates George W. Bush and Al Gore. He was also the associate producer of Peter Jennings Reporting: Homeland, a one-hour film about how undocumented Mexican workers in the US are the backbone of the nation’s economy.

Before turning to film and journalism, Jordan spent three years practicing law as a litigation attorney in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Jordan graduated from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and lives in New York with his wife.
