Jeff Orlowski-Yang

Filmmakers · The Social Dilemma (Netflix, 2020)

Director of The Social Dilemma, the Netflix documentary that carried tech-insider warnings about algorithmic design to a mass audience.

Jeff Orlowski-Yang is a documentary filmmaker best known for directing The Social Dilemma, released by Netflix in 2020 and later honored with two Emmy Awards. The film combines interviews with former tech-industry insiders and a dramatized narrative of a family navigating a teenager's social-media use to make the case that today's platforms are engineered to capture and hold attention. It became one of the most widely seen introductions to the case against unchecked screen time, reaching a global streaming audience far beyond the tech-policy circles where these arguments started.
