Daniel is a film writer / director and freelancer videographer. He was born in Colombia but raised in Lima, Peru by Peruvian parents. At age 20 he moved to Manchester to study advertising, but with a world of production opportunities in the UK now available, he decided to follow his life-long dream of becoming a filmmaker.

After doing some freelance videography work and other personal projects, in 2018 he founded his own production brand 'Green Lens Chronicles', under which he's completed 5 short films, all of which were screened at small and medium film festivals, in cities like London, Manchester and Boston, with his most recent short 'The Man of the House' nominated for 3 awards at the 2023 Birmingham Film Festival. In 2023 he returned to his home country of Peru to shoot his 5th, and most personal and ambitious short yet, "The Black Dune" set in the coastal desert of Lima, which he has now completed post-production for it in the UK.

His multicultural background, blending Latin American heritage and upbringing, with his current residence in the UK, enhances his understanding of diverse cultures and human emotions. He aspires to create more bridges between Latin American and European co-productions, and becoming a driving force to push forward the industry in his country of Peru, which currently lacks opportunities, representation and exposure internationally.
