Daniel Kwan (born February 10, 1988)[1] and Daniel Scheinert (born June 7, 1987),[2] known collectively as the Daniels, are an American filmmaking duo. They began their career as directors of music videos,[3] including ones for "Houdini" (2012) by Foster the People and "Turn Down for What" (2013) by DJ Snake and Lil Jon, both of which earned them nominations at the Grammy Awards.

They have since ventured into film, having written and directed the absurdist comedy-dramas Swiss Army Man (2016) and Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). The latter became the independent production company A24's highest-grossing release,[4] and won the duo many awards, including Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.[5][6][7]
