Director's Works
Beats, The Master of Speed and Stability Daniel Wolfe
Daniel Wolfe is a prolific director known for his bold, subversive vision. Through his award-winning work in commercials, music videos, and long-form films, he has earned a formidable reputation as a pioneer, consistently redefining the boundaries of his craft. Over the past 15 years, Daniel has been a trailblazer in music videos, gaining acclaim for ambitious narrative projects. Highlights include the gritty slasher “Time to Dance” for The Shoes, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a hipster-slaying serial killer, which became a viral sensation and won two UKMVAs, and “Iron Sky” for Paolo Nutini, an apocalyptic nightmare that won the SXSW Grand Jury Award.
In 2014, Daniel made his feature debut with Catch Me Daddy, described as a "modern-day Western on the Yorkshire moors" and a "long-decayed fairytale." The film premiered to critical acclaim at Cannes, winning the Caméra d'Or, earning five BIFA nominations, and securing Best Newcomer at the London Film Festival.
Daniel’s commercial work is equally celebrated. He won British Arrows’ Commercial of the Year back-to-back with “A New Further” for Hennessy (2016) and “Blood Normal” for Libresse (2017). Both campaigns earned multiple Gold Lions at Cannes and D&AD Awards, with Libresse also claiming the Glass Lion for Change Grand Prix in 2018. That year, “World Cup Football” for Nike Russia won a Gold British Arrow. More recently, Daniel directed “Idents” for Channel 4, alongside Justyna Obasi and Elliott Power, which won a Ciclope Grand Prix, Clio, D&AD, British Arrows, and Cannes Lions. In 2024, his campaign “Not Today” for Lululemon won Bronze and Silver Clio Awards, Adidas’ “Originals” secured a Bronze Cannes Lion, and “New EE” for EE earned a Gold British Arrows Award. His PSA “You Don’t Know the Half of It” for The Harris Project received numerous accolades, including a Webby Award. Daniel has also collaborated with brands such as Volkswagen, Ketel One, Zillow, Delta, Powerade, BMW, Mini, San Miguel, and Apple.
In 2021, Daniel co-founded Love Song, a production company, with award-winning producer and creative director Kelly Bayett. Love Song’s debut commercial, “Skate Nation Ghana” for Facebook, won the Grand Prix at the Ciclope Festival, while Lululemon’s “The Selfish Giant”claimed Gold at the same event. Since its inception, Love Song has worked with renowned clients such as Google, Crown Royal, Coca-Cola, Indeed, Away, and Smirnoff.
Originally from Manchester, England, Daniel now resides in Los Angeles, where he is developing his second feature film.
