Hey, I’m Daniel Yen Tu. Email me HERE for any reason.
I direct movies. I also write screenplays.
I’m currently writing two feature screenplays which are both funded — one for a Sundance alum and another for an established indie director.
I also write and direct my own shorts. I am leading an LDS Anthology Feature Film set to be released this year.
Here’s a trailer for my old student film, Stickup Kid (2019). It is not indicative of my current style/work.
We were nominated for five student Emmys and won 3, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Writing. We premiered at the Boston Film Festival and played at the South East New England festival as well as Red Rock.
I’ve worked in the Utah film industry in various roles as well, mostly on commercials in uncredited positions. Here is my IMDb page.
I currently work at the School of Visual Storytelling and produce the podcast Three Point Perspective. Here are some links:
And here is my LinkedIn. (I am currently unavailable for podcast production and freelance work)
Welcome to the bio section of the website. Please enjoy this high-resolution photo of me, accompanied by a short biography that I will write in the third person, which is a foolish tradition that yet persists.
