The culture that Daniel and Kelly have created feels original and exciting, their uniquely collaborative approach, diverse roster, and method of nurturing talent is something that I'm so excited to be a part of. The work is creatively bold and distinct, yet very human, which perfectly aligns with who I am as a filmmaker. I can’t wait to start creating together!”
