Biography

Daniel is the award-winning director/ writer of the pandemic-era horror short Don't Be Afraid (2021) (Best Thriller at the Couch Film Festival and Best Music at the Independent Horror Movie Awards). His brand is HARNESSING YOUR FIRE to overcome adversity.

WATCH DOGS 2 in REAL LIFE! (2016), the comedic promotional video he directed for Defy Media and Ubisoft, has garnered over 6 million views on YouTube since its launch, proving to be one of the most successful videos for YouTube content creators The Warp Zone (2010). The track for his current successes was laid when he won the Best Directing honor at the Blaquefyre Film Festival for the dark comedy, Mediating Kidnapper (2013). starring Jim O'Heir (lovable but pathetic Jerry from Parks & Recreation) in a dark turn against type.

Daniel's currently developing the feature thriller script, THE CRIMSON POOL, to direct. The script was a finalist and honorable mention at WeScreenplay's Feature Lab, placed as a 2nd Rounder at Austin Film Festival, and was endorsed on Coverfly's Summer Holiday Must-Read List.

Under his Bealsebub brand, Daniel is focused on creating shared spaces that reflect the world he's always seen. He hopes that his work will help expand his audience's collective consciousness (through genre-agnostic, pulse-pounding stories and IP) by burning away the virus of fear and tribalism. Together, we are limitless and luminous. The heroes in our favorite stories never harness their fire to punch down. They do it to lift up. That's what Bealsebub means. And that's what it'll mean when you see: a Bealsebub film.

When he isn't writing or making movies, he's likely chilling in a cafe, traveling (often to chill in international cafes), and relaxing with his wife while doing many of these things.
