Biography
Daniels is the pseudonym for a creative duo comprising Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. Kwan, originally a graphic designer and animator, hails from Massachusetts, while Scheinert, a native of Alabama, took his route to show business via an interest in theatre and comedy. They share directing, editing and VFX duties, and often act, dance or appear as stunt doubles in their own work. Their many accolades include the MTV Best Director Award for the video clip for the song "Turn Down For What" by DJ Snake and Lil' Jon, which has 500 million views to date. Their critically acclaimed interactive short Possibilia was screened at Tribeca 2014 and Sundance 2015. Last year's SXSW festival included the short Interesting Ball on its programme. The feature film debut Swiss Army Man won this year's Directing Award at Sundance.
