Daniels

Daniel "Dan" Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, are a duo of film directors and writers. They began their career as directors of music videos, including the popular DJ Snake promotional for the single "Turn Down for What". They wrote and directed the surreal comedy-drama Swiss Army Man (2016) and the science-fiction action comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert met while they were both studying film at Emerson College in Boston. Since 2011, the duo has directed music videos for artists including Foster the People, The Shins, and Tenacious D. In 2018, 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". In 2016, the duo expanded to feature film, writing and directing the movie Swiss Army Man, starring Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe, for which the duo received the Directing Award at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. In 2017, it was announced that Daniels would write, direct, and produce a then-unnamed sci-fi film, produced by the Russo brothers' company. The film, Everything Everywhere All at Once, is sci-fi action comedy starring Michelle Yeoh. It was released to critical acclaim in March 2022.
