Surviving a series of life-threatening illness as a boy, British/American Danny Daneau found an unquenchable appetite for stories about growing up.

With a Master of Fine Arts in Digital Cinema, Danny directed his first feature at age 24. Recent credits include writing/directing a half-hour pilot, The Quinn Marcus Show for PopTV and directing Keke Palmer to her first Emmy win in 2021 for her performance in the Facebook Watch comedy series, Turnt Up with the Taylors. Together as a writing team, Danny and Laura’s first feature project, American Dreamer, was selected amongst 4000 submissions to be part of Imagine Entertainment’s Impact accelerator program under the mentorship of Hollywood scribe Matt Lieberman. In 2021, they were hired by Netflix to write a large-scale adventure movie based on a concept they created. Danny is an alumni of Film Independent, a member of the WGA West and managed at M88.
