Daryl Wein is an award winning New York based filmmaker. His debut narrative feature film, Breaking Upwards, with Zoe Lister-Jones (State of Play), Julie White (Transformers), Peter Friedman (The Savages), Olivia Thirlby (Juno), and Andrea Martin (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), was an official selection in the Narrative Competition at the 2009 SXSW Film Festival. IFC Films is releasing the film theatrically in 2010. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Brooklyn International Film Festival, as well as Best Narrative Feature Film, and the Audience Award at the Little Rock Film Festival. Indiewire said "Wein assembles a playful narrative filled with vibrant dialogue and a swift pace." Quiet Earth wrote "Breaking Upwards is an effortlessly hip and funny new indie flick that easily ranks among the best films about relationships I've ever seen." Film School Rejects said "If the reception at SXSW is any indication, Breaking Upwards is destined to be a winner on the festival circuit and beyond."

Wein's feature length documentary, Sex Positive, won the Grand Jury Prize at the L.A. Outfest Film Fest, and was an official selection at the 2008 South by Southwest Film Festival, London Film Festival, Boston Independent Film Festival, among thirty other film festivals around the world. Regent Releasing has distributed the film theatrically in North America, and the film has been released in 8 foreign countries on broadcast and theatrically, most notably at the BFI in London. The LA Times wrote the film was "illuminating and timelessly timely." The NY Times said "[This] sad, useful film sounds an alarm. The movie jolts you with the realization that the AIDS epidemic and the public debate about such issues have retreated so far under the news radar as to be half-forgotten." NPR calls Sex Positive "indespensable." Indiewire writes the film is "intelligent and engaging...an unabashed and even transgressive portrait of sexuality. It is a sophisticated work of nonfiction that does its very standard format proud."

In 2006 Daryl co-wrote and directed, Unlocked, a short psychological drama starring Olivia Thirlby (Juno, The Wackness) and executive produced by Stephen Daldry (The Reader, Billy Elliot). The film was an Official Selection at the Tribeca Film Festival, as well as the Gijon Film Festival in Spain and 20 other film festiva. It was voted one of the "Best Short Films in the World" by Indy Mogul.

As an actor, Daryl has appeared in films including Breaking Upwards, The Hebrew Hammer, and Porn n' Chicken. Television credits include Law and Order, Law and Order: SVU, and Ed.

He is a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts and USC School of Film and Television.
