Jordan Kronick is an Emmy-winning and Peabody-nominated director, producer and writer of documentaries and longform TV news. Currently, Jordan is a senior segment producer at HBO’s “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel,” which is widely regarded as the best sports program on American television. In more than eight years at “Real Sports,” Jordan has directed, produced and written over 30 longform stories for the show, including ones about Mount Everest, Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov, the FBI takedown of FIFA and big wave surfing. Before arriving at HBO, Jordan directed, produced and wrote "Into Harm's Way," a feature documentary about the West Point Class of 1967 and the Vietnam War. No class in the history of West Point has had more soldiers killed in combat than the Class of 1967. "Into Harm's Way" premiered on PBS. In an earlier project, Jordan produced "Steep," a feature documentary about the history of big mountain skiing. From helicopters and mountaintops around the globe, Jordan spent two winters filming the perilous descents of some of the best skiers in the world. An official selection of the Tribeca, Telluride and AFI film festivals, "Steep" was released by Sony Pictures Classics in hundreds of movie theaters across North America. Prior to "Steep," Jordan spent six years making TV documentaries with legendary broadcaster Peter Jennings for ABC News. The topics of these films were wide-ranging: from life in the universe to the drug ecstasy to the Kennedy assassination to illegal immigration to presidential candidates George W. Bush and Al Gore. These programs were critically acclaimed and won many awards. Jordan has also worked with corporate clients, directing and producing short films and commercials for Procter and Gamble, Unilever and the US Army.
