The Daniels are the American filmmaking duo Daniel Kwan, born on 10 February 1988, and Daniel Scheinert, born on 7 June 1987. They began their career by directing music videos, including Houdini by Foster the People and Turn Down for What by DJ Snake and Lil Jon, both of which earned Grammy Award nominations. They wrote and directed the absurdist comedy-dramas Swiss Army Man in 2016 and Everything Everywhere All at Once in 2022, the latter of which became A24's highest-grossing film at the time and is listed here as a work.
