More about Danny Toth

Growing up in Orange County, Toth would secretly borrow his brother’s VHS cassettes of movies like Pulp Fiction and Event Horizon after everyone went to bed. He thought he wanted to be a screenwriter, but at LMU he enjoyed giving feedback on others’ work rather than doing the writing. Things clicked for Toth when he saw the development of films like Contagion and Deepwater Horizon during an internship at Participant Media. “This is what I like about movies. Being excited about the development and producing,” he recalls thinking. After ill-fitted stints as a visual effects PA and in reality TV producing, friends convinced him to learn the ropes at an agency. He scored a gig at Gersh, where he worked his way up to lit agent and has sought out fresh talent in the genre space like clients Type AB and their film DON'T MOVE on Netflix. Toth prides himself on finding new voices in the genre world. Says the married father of two daughters: “I am chasing IP and building things from the ground up.”

Some projects Toth has in the pipeline for 2026 are Type AB's next film NIGHTWATCHING with Ridley Scott and PictureStart producing. Animated film NUCLEAR FAMILY in development with Lord Miller and Sony Animation and Chris Stuckmann's next film, SHATTER, with the producers of Longlegs and The Monkey.
