Daniel Kwan

Director

Daniel Kwan has been writing and directing for over a decade as a part of the duo DANIELS with Daniel Scheinert. They got their start with a slew of viral music videos, commercials, and short films, before breaking into the feature film and TV space.


DANIELS have developed a reputation for combining absurdity with heartfelt personal stories including the Sundance hit Swiss Army Man. He co-directed, produced, and wrote Everything Everywhere All at Once which became A24’s best-performing film of all time and won 7 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. He’s returning to Sundance as a producer for The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist.
