Dan Deevy (he/him) is a seasoned producer, host, and entertainment journalist with three decades of experience at the intersection of Hollywood, space exploration, and social advocacy. A visionary event planner and celebrity interviewer, Dan has dedicated his career to creating meaningful experiences that resonate on both personal and professional levels.

Advocacy & Leadership

In 2016, Dan founded the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Gaaays In Spaaace (GIS). Under his leadership as Executive Director, the organization has become a leading voice for the inclusion of all underrepresented communities in both science fiction and the actual space industry.

His work with GIS culminated in the pioneering Galactic Diversity & Inclusion Convention (D&I Con), an event praised by attendees and industry leaders alike as a "convention with a purpose." Featuring dozens of sci-fi legends and space industry pioneers, the convention broke new ground with original programming and interactive activities that many participants have described as the best they have ever attended.

Dan’s influence extends to the global stage; in September of 2023, Dan addressed the United Nations General Assembly, speaking on the vital necessity of universal equality as humanity begins its permanent expansion into the stars.

Entertainment & Media Career

His background in the entertainment industry is extensive and multifaceted. As the Founder and CEO of TheCinemaSource.com, Dan oversaw operations for nearly 15 years, conducting over 1,700 celebrity interviews and producing promotional screenings and after-parties for major studios including Paramount, Warner Bros., and Disney. His career also includes tenures as a Producer and On-Air Host for Rotten Tomatoes/Flixster and WTOP Radio, where he became a staple on red carpets and at press junkets.

Earlier in his career, Dan served as the Promotions and Special Events Director for Paramount Pictures in New York, where he managed large-scale screenings, festivals, and theater openings. He is also known for his creative and effective advocacy campaigns, such as the "WEWANTWORF" initiative.
