Daniel Friedman

Daniel was born in Mainz, Germany on December 26th, 1995. At the age of five, he moved with his family to Boston, Massachusetts, where he spent the majority of his upbringing. From a young age, Daniel always felt drawn to entertaining others. At events with family and friends, he was always the main source of entertainment, cracking jokes and playing pranks. When he was 11 years old, Daniel began making comedic and action shorts with his friends. Because they did not have a camera of their own to use, they would instead use a webcam from a Macbook as their principal camera. When time for high school rolled around, Daniel chose "Video in the Digital Age" as one of his main electives, discovering his love for film making. Daniel is an alum of Emerson College, class of 2018. In school, he pursued a major of Visual Media Arts, with a concentration in Cinematography. Throughout his time at Emerson, Daniel worked on numerous projects, ranging from documentaries, comedic web-series, narrative dramas, and experimental films. Though his true passion is film making, Daniel has also worked in corporate marketing, most notably for the renowned biotech start-up, GreenLight Biosciences, where he worked one-on-one with the CEO to ensure GreenLight's technological breakthroughs would not be missed by the media. In the summer of 2018, Daniel left his job at GreenLight to pursue a career in media and entertainment. Through mutual friends, networking, and a long interview process, Daniel managed to land a position working as a production assistant in the props departments of Modern Family and Life in Pieces.
