Daniel Klimek

Daniel Klimek is an actor/director with a mixed ethnic background who has worked both in Korea and America. He is the Co-CEO of New Standard Studios which seeks to diversify the film industry by giving underrepresented people stronger voices in films that reflect a worldly and much larger demographic. As an ethnically mixed actor, Daniel himself has struggled with identity growing up both in America and abroad. Through this struggle Daniel has come to realize that the gap between these societies was not cohesive or bridged enough to just accept him as who is, an American mixed actor. Often times he was considered as only "Asian" by American standards or "only Caucasian" by Korean, Japanese, or other Asian standards. Because of this, he firmly believes that by diversifying the film and social media industries you can influence and broaden the public's eye of what they find attractive or appealing.
