Mandy Moore and Daniel Cotroneo on the set of “This Is Us”

Cotroneo is a visionary film producer and founder of Flashback Pictures. His work behind the camera includes three seasons of This Is Us (2016), the Danish Oscar nominee While We Live (2017), and Netflix's #1 global hit A Beautiful Life (2023). He absorbed techniques from industry legends Quentin Tarantino and JJ Abrams while working on such productions as Mad Men (2012), The Amazing Spiderman (2012) and Django Unchained (2012).

Recognizing Hollywood's run-away production and franchise fatigue, Cotroneo launched Flashback Pictures with the mission to champion sidelined storytellers. With nine original feature films slated over three years, Flashback blends Daniel's eye for creative authenticity with his proven ability to maximize value.

Cotroneo leverages a "Moneyball" approach to filmmaking. "By identifying underutilized tax incentives and overlooked talent, we create transformative moments on screen. These moments remind viewers why they fell in love with cinema to begin with."

This same analytical mindset drove Cotroneo to build a multi-million dollar rental real estate portfolio within 10 years of purchasing his first condo. Daniel's work spans continents and cultures, but always returns to the fundamental human experience that connects us all.
