Derek Sieg is an award-winning writer/director educated in London and currently based in Los Angeles.  His critically-acclaimed first feature, SWEDISH AUTO was released by IFC Films.  Variety declared it “the debut of a singular talent in Derek Sieg, writer-helmer of this charming, poingant drama about marginalized people,” and added, “fully loaded, with spot-on performances and remarkable direction, ‘Swedish Auto' weaves the kind of spell that can only come from a sure-handed storyteller.”

Outside of film-making, Derek is a volunteer football coach at LA Scores, Los Angeles for at-risk inner-city youths.
