Hi! I’m Daniel. I get to make things for a living. I’m a Director-Producer, Editor, and Cinematographer.

I’m also a bilingual Spanish (Cuban-Dominican) speaker, which has been a big help when I’ve had opportunities to travel directing projects in 7 countries (so far) in English, Spanish, and French.

I make branded content, music visuals, and take on the occasional narrative or doc endeavor. I'm also a certified Bolt Motion Control operator, so I'm pretty technically minded too!

I recently finished DP'ing a 2-cam feature film that was captured natively vertical in 9x16 format. It was weird but we adjusted!

A few of the fun clients I’ve collaborated with over the years are Jack Daniel's, Elton John’s Farewell Tour, BMW China, Turner, Home Depot, Cee Lo Green, Collective Soul, and the Stranglers.

My directorial work with Jack Daniel's Flavor of Two Cities campaign received several American Advertising Federation awards in 2023, namely: BEST IN SHOW Branded Content & Entertainment Awards ; CULTURALLY LEGIT Award ; GOLD Branded Content & Entertainment Award ; SILVER Microsite Awards.

My shorts have screened across the world, and have won festivals from Atlanta to Barcelona in various categories.

I’ve also been known to shoot or cut for other directors on occasion, which is always a fun excuse to nerd out on a specific craft - it’s a lot of fun to focus just on making things look great! Big teams or little teams, it’s fun having the machinery to do complex things but equally fun to be nimble and keep it moving.

I’ve always held that good people tend to find good people, so if you want to connect, drop me a line and let’s make something great together. — D.O.
