Daniel graduated from Simon Fraser University with a BFA in film production and screenwriting. He got his first taste of docs while pursuing a rare and bizarre opportunity to shoot the restoration of the iconic Hollow Tree in Vancouver. The Hollow Tree premiered at DOXA 2011 in Vancouver and was picked up for broadcast on CBC Documentary and Knowledge Network in 2012. Daniel is also co-founder of the Junction Media Studio in Gastown, a shared workspace for emerging media-makers.
