BONUS EPISODE: OSCAR WINNERS! The Daniels Breakdown How they wrote Everything, Everywhere, All at Once!

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as DANIELS,
have been writing and directing together for over a decade,
initially with a slew of viral music videos, commercials, and short
films, then with feature films and TV directing.

They've developed a reputation for combining absurdity with
heartfelt personal stories. Oftentimes they incorporate a unique
brand of visual effects, and visceral practical effects into their
genre blending projects.

They have directed music videos for Manchester Orchestra, Foster
the People, and won a VMA for their video for “Turn Down For What,”
which Scheinert bullied Kwan into being the lead actor in. Kwan is
a really good dancer.

They wrote and directed the feature film Swiss Army Man starring
Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe, which went on to win the Directing
Award at the Sundance Film Festival, received multiple nominations,
and gained a large cult following.

While they were writing & developing their new movie Everything
Everywhere All At Once, a kung fu sci-fi dramedy starring Michelle
Yeoh, Scheinert went and directed a small redneck dramedy called
The Death of Dick Long, also released by A24.

When an interdimensional rupture threatens to unravel reality, the
fate of the world is suddenly in the hands of a most unlikely hero:
Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh), an overwhelmed immigrant mother. As bizarre
and bewildering dangers emerge from the many possible universes,
she must learn to channel her newfound powers and fight to save her
home, her family, and herself, in this big-hearted and hilarious
adventure through the multiverse.

They both live in Los Angeles. One of them has a son. The other has
a goofy dog. But to be honest Daniel does most of the work.
