Daniel graduated from TMU's Film Studies program in 2014, where he was one of the few dedicated editors in his class. After cutting four short films in his thesis year, he eventually landed his first Telefilm-funded feature edit "Cardinals", which premiered at TIFF 2017.
In 2018, he was commissioned by the Canadian Olympic Committee to edit a batch of micro-videos for the Pyeongchang Olympics, each dedicated to a Canadian athlete. That same year, his short film edit "Glitter's Wild Women" screened at TIFF 2018. After a few years of global chaos, another of his short edits "Pleasure Garden" premiered at TIFF 2022.
After many more short film, music video, and commercial edits, Daniel was brought on to cut the full-length documentary "Attila", which headlined the 2023 Rendezvous with Madness film festival in Toronto, and is still available on Crave for Canadian streaming.
In 2026 Daniel edited "Man Eating Pussy", starring Grace Glowicki and Julian Richings. It premiered at the SXSW Film & TV Festival, and won the Midnight Shorts Special Jury Prize for Avant-Garde.
Daniel continues to work and live in downtown Toronto.
