Dan Kapelovitz grew up in unincorporated Arapahoe County in Colorado. He studied film at Wesleyan University, where his thesis film "The Bastard Son of a Virgin Whore" won the Frank Capra Award for Best Comedy. From 1996 to 2006, Kapelovitz produced nearly two hundred episodes of the highly influential experimental TV shows "Threee Geniuses" and "Kapelovision" while working numerous odd jobs, such as grocery delivery boy, human test subject, and Features Editor of Hustler Magazine. In 2013, Kapelovitz finalized a project that took 20 years to complete entitled "Triple Fisher: The Lethal Lolitas of Long Island," in which he combined all three Amy Fisher made-for-TV movies into one ultimate meta-drama. Today, Kapelovitz is a criminal defense attorney in Hollywood. In 2014, he started work on his next film project, "48 Hrs. Literally," a film based on the 1982 Eddie Murphy/Nick Nolte action comedy that will literally have a running time of 48 hours. Ten years later, the film remains unfinished; however, a 96-minute feature-length trailer for the film premiered in 2025. That same year, Kapelovitz released "120 Days of Sodom Literally," which is "The Longest Film Ever Made"™ with a running time of 120 days—literally.
