Life and career

[edit | edit source]

Lombroso was born in New Rochelle, New York, the grandson of two Holocaust survivors.[8][9] After graduating from McGill University, where he studied political science, he began working for The Atlantic and The New Yorker.[10][2] While on staff at those magazines, Lombroso's films explored Russian espionage, Israel's settlement movement, plastic surgery addiction, and the Holocaust, and were recognized with major journalism awards.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]

In 2020, Lombroso directed his first documentary feature, White Noise, for which he spent four years embedded inside the so-called alt-right movement.[3] During the production of the film, he exposed Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes for sexual harassment and captured alt-right members embracing Nazi ideology.[19][20] The film was named one of the top documentaries of 2020 by Vox and The Boston Globe.[21][22]

In 2021, Lombroso's documentary short on the US-Mexico border, American Scar, won a Special Jury Mention at DOC NYC and was nominated for the National Magazine Awards.[23][24] In 2023, he directed Nina & Irena about his grandmother's survival in the Holocaust. It was Executive Produced by Errol Morris.[8] He was named to the 2023 Forbes 30 under 30 list in the Media category.[25] In 2024, he co-directed the documentary short Denial with Paul Moakley, which premiered worldwide on September 09, 2024 via The New Yorker.[26]

In April 2025, Lombroso and Kerry Mack founded Outerboro Films in Brooklyn. Its projects include You’ll Be Happier, a documentary about a Texas businessman’s efforts to normalize penis enlargement, which is in post-production for a 2026 release with backing from World of Wonder and Penny Lane.[27]
