Daniel Ziegler discovered his passion for storytelling before he could speak and began making films as soon as he could lift a camera. In 2012, after years of experimenting with home movies, he founded Black Box Films to produce more professional short films. Just two years later, he made his feature debut with Timespace (2014), a sci-fi drama he wrote and directed. He followed it with Elodie (2019), a psychological thriller that helped define his distinctive, genre-blending style.

Daniel earned his degree in Film Studies and Production from Hofstra University in New York. He currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona, where he continues to develop original projects that push creative boundaries.
