Daniels (directors)
Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, are a filmmaking duo best 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, starring 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 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]
