Documentary filmmaker Jeremy Workman has been praised for creating his own genre of uniquely cinematic character portraits that bring you deep inside extraordinary worlds. He is the director/ producer/ editor/ cinematographer of the word-of-mouth sensation SECRET MALL APARTMENT. 

Secret Mall Apartment premiered to immediate acclaim at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival, going on to win 12 major film festival awards. Executive Produced by actor Jesse Eisenberg, it was released theatrically in over 300 theaters in 2025, becoming the fifth-highest grossing documentary since 2020 (excluding music concert films).  It dropped on Netflix in January 2026 and instantly entered the Netflix TOP 10, outperforming nearly every documentary on the platform.  Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, Secret Mall Apartment has been widely featured in national publications, parodied on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and is now being developed as both a musical and a scripted movie. 

A two-time Emmy nominee and member of Academy, Jeremy has also directed the documentaries LILY TOPPLES THE WORLD (Discovery / HBO MAX), DECIDING VOTE (The New Yorker, Oscar-shortlisted Best Documentary Short), THE WORLD BEFORE YOUR FEET (Greenwich Entertainment / Kino Lorber), and MAGICAL UNIVERSE (IFC Films / AMC+). In 2026, he will be premiering his newest documentary SCHOOL FOR DEFECTORS, about a school in South Korea where all the students are North Korean defectors.  He is also hard at work on Whiz-Bang!, a madcap journey into the world of Rube Goldberg artists, featuring Joseph Herscher.

Lily Topples The World won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the 2021 SXSW Film Festival and soon became a high-profile acquisition by Discovery. Executive Produced by actress Kelly Marie Tran, Lily Topples The World  can now be streamed on HBO MAX. The film is Certified Fresh on RottenTomatoes.

The World Before Your Feet was released theatrically in over 100 global cities during 2019, played in theaters for nearly 6 months, and currently stands at 100% on RottenTomatoes. It was the first film produced by actor Jesse Eisenberg.  A special edition BluRay/DVD was released through Kino Lorber.

Jeremy's 2023 short documentary Deciding Vote (co-directed with Rob Lyons) premiered at Tribeca Film Festival and won multiple film festival awards, before being acquired by The New Yorker.  It was shortlisted for the 96th Academy Awards in the Documentary Short Film category and nominated for an Emmy Award for Most Outstanding Short Documentary.

Jeremy's documentary Magical Universe - about outsider artist Al Carbee - was released theatrically in 2015 by IFC Films and is available to stream on AMC+. The documentary was cited by The New York Times  as 'recommended watching' when it debuted on Netflix.  A special edition BluRay is now available from Vinegar Syndrome with over 80 minutes of Extras.

Additionally, Jeremy is widely known in the indie community as a trailer editor in his role as the Creative Director of WHEELHOUSE CREATIVE. In this capacity, he has edited or overseen dozens of movie trailers, featurettes, tribute montages, and fundraising sizzles for a flurry of distributors and producers.  He recently presented his Four Favorite Trailers for Letterboxd.
