Daniels, the Academy Award-winning directorial duo of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, won seven Oscars in 2023 for Everything Everywhere All At Once including Best Picture and Best Director, making it A24's highest-grossing film ever. Before feature films, they built their reputation in commercials and music videos with work for Nike, Apple, Facebook, and Gap through Wieden+Kennedy Portland and BBH London. Their 2016 Nike spot Unlimited You earned a Cannes Lions Silver, Ciclope Gold for Writing, and British Arrows Gold. Gap's Episode 2 took SHOTS Gold for Mobile Campaign of the Year and Cannes Silver, while Apple's Fly Market won SHOTS Silver. Their viral 2014 music video Turn Down for What for DJ Snake and Lil Jon became a cultural phenomenon that convinced investors to fund their first feature, Swiss Army Man. Known for absurdist humor, ambitious narratives, and physical comedy rooted in a DIY aesthetic, they maintain long-term collaborations with cinematographer Larkin Seiple and 1st AD Jess Fleece. Their work demonstrates technical innovation spanning motion control, VFX integration with The Mill and Absolute, and self-editing. Currently working with PRETTYBIRD US, their most recent commercial work visible is Facebook's 2020 Voting Information Center spot, suggesting limited commercial availability following their Oscar success.
