Daniel’s primary concentration includes genre films with journalistic socio-economic themes at the heart of the story. “I believe stories are the best engine to convey ideas. A lot of the answers to the world’s most pressing concerns are buried in the details of some dead economist’s theories. I believe cinema can lend a dramatic lens to economics and bring meaningful insight to audiences.”
