Dániel Hajnal

Director Brady Hood, Great Expectations: Dániel is hard working, passionate and consistently goes above and beyond. As an editor, he has very good instincts, works very fast and is always offering exciting, well-considered options. Daniel has been a joy to work alongside, and I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Producer Johann Knobel, Devil's Peak: We hired Dániel on the strength of his short film "The Yellow Dress" and the wonderful meeting we had with him, and we've not regretted it for a moment. His work is elegant, and he's great at finding the moments, whether they are emotional or funny. He is a joy to have in the cutting room, and his work ethic is beyond reproach. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat.

Director Jozua Malherbe, Devil's Peak: Dániel is a collaborative person willing to listen and adapt to circumstances and fellow creatives. His ability to see through false moments and get to the core of a story is a wonderful asset to any director! We worked together on two episodes of an action thriller set in Cape Town, and despite cultural differences, Dániel was able to find the heart of the story and drive his edits to capture that. Not only that, but he is super-fast, and if you blink, you will miss what he has done. It has been a pleasure to work with him, and I hope for another future opportunity.

Executive Producer Francis Hopkinson: Daniel was a crucial part of the team on Devil's Peak. He was very smart and quickly understood the series and our ambitions. His speed at taking on thoughts and ideas was impressive. Also, he was a pleasure to work with.
