Daniels (directors)

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, are a film-making duo most known for their music videos,[1] including the popular DJ Snake promotional for the single, "Turn Down for What". In 2016 they expanded to feature film, writing and directing the movie Swiss Army Man featuring actors Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe,[2] for which the duo received the Directing Award at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.[3]

In 2017, it was announced that the Daniels would direct a then unnamed sci-fi film, produced by the Russo Brothers' company.[4][5] The film has since been titled Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Daniel Kwan co-founded the group, We Direct Music Videos (W.D.M.V.), described as "a global community of music video directors who are committed to sustainable directorial labor practices."[6]

gollark: It's not like Christ and Moses and whoever definitely *did* do those things just because it's said they did. You don't have to make a convoluted bizarre theory to explain it.
gollark: Sorry, network issues, back now.
gollark: I mean, we're different in... quite a lot of ways, if similar in others.
