Trey Nelson

Trey enjoys directing and producing features, documentaries, television shows, and commercials that resonate with authenticity and intimacy. His work has been featured at festivals around the world including the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival, where he premiered the documentary 14 MINUTES FROM EARTH. In 2016, he wrote and directed the feature film LOST IN THE SUN starring Josh Duhamel. It was praised as "one of the most beautiful and best acted independent films of the year." His most recent feature documentary, THE 5TH MAN, won directing awards at both the 2021 Stony Brook Film Festival and 2021 Rhode Island International Film Festival. Filmmaker Magazine celebrated the film as "one of those remarkable documentaries that tells an intimate human story but uses it as a springboard to tell the story of an entire era...one of the best films I've seen so far in 2021." Over the last decade, Trey has directed dozens of television shows (Brain Games), as well as several mini-series (The Cars That Built America). His passion for food and those who work in the culinary industry have inspired him to direct over 400 episodes of food television and many commercials. Both the Television Academy and The James Beard Foundation have recognized his work in the genre.
