Sibling Films hires new pair of directors

DZ, formerly known as Daisy Zhou, is a cinematographer/director based in Brooklyn, NY. She originally grew up in both Pennsylvania and Shanghai, China. In 2017, DZ worked on Nike's Be True campaign, kickstarting her reputation in lensing films that explore the relationships between filmmaking and dance, gender, sexuality, and identity. In 2018, she was the only director in the Cannes Young Director Award showcase to have two films shortlisted. Most recently, she lensed campaigns for Gillette, Aston Martin, Renault, Citroen, Ford, and Apple. 

Investing in a Diverse Range of Talent

Sibling is also announcing a new mentorship program to nurture young talent and provide a solid foundation for guided growth. The program kicked off in 2020 with its first mentee, Simone Holland, whose unique aesthetic, open-mindedness, and desire to learn sets her apart.  She comments, “Sibling inspires me to embrace my individual directing style as well as fortify my unique creative voice.” The program continues to grow with the addition of mentees ranging in skill sets including live-action production, post-production, design and more. 

“We wanted to support the potential in people that have a desire to join this business but might not have had the entry to do so in the past, it’s an exciting time to work with upcoming talent,” says Sibling Rivalry Founder/Executive Creative Director Mikon van Gastel.
