About

For as long as he can remember, Daniel always loved moving images.

He began his career as a 3D generalist, developing a passion for abstract animation and motion design over the years. He then embarked on a 3-year Master’s program in sunny California to study Film Directing, and was fortunate enough to work with some really talented folks on some really special projects along the way.

Today he continues to pursue his passion for evocative visuals and compelling narratives, always looking to meet talented collaborators and projects that push him creatively.

He currently lives in Los Angeles, where he works as a motion designer while developing his feature “The Weight of Land”. A neo-western about a feud between two families stuck in a land dispute, the project has received support from SFFILM, the Producer’s Guild of America, Film Independent, the Westridge Foundation, and NALIP.
