Hey there, I'm Dan Addelson. And I love people. And the many diverse feelings they come with - the funny, touching, heartfelt, runny, messy emotions that define us as humans.  As a Director I like to think of my cinematic lens as a trusty sidekick, helping me spin stories that hit you right in the heart.

In my quest for storytelling greatness, I'm all about creating uplifting, powerful narratives. And I take pride in coaxing out the best in people, both real and cast, skillfully revealing the little kernels of truth that celebrate the richness of the human experience. At the heart of it all, I aim to leave you feeling not just a bit more connected to a brand, but the world at large.

And, being fluent in both English and Spanish is a great bonus—it helps me craft stories that transcend boundaries and touch the hearts of diverse audiences. Oh yeah, and I speak dog too!
