Dan Jensen

• Dan Jensen is digital editor for Independent Australia.

  Dan has a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in writing and video production. He is a published author and an award-winning filmmaker, has a movie podcast – Dan and Frankie Go To Hollywood– that is growing in popularity and boasts an impressive knowledge of cinema.

  Dan is also a musician, having recorded albums with two bands, Electric Bongo and Group X.

  On top of all that, Dan is a self-confessed comic book nerd, with a lifelong devotion to DC.

  But none of these accolades and achievements come close to his biggest one yet — recently becoming a father to twins, Harper and Alexis.
