Since 2011, the duo have directed music videos for artists including Foster the People, The Shins and Tenacious D. They went to college with Sunita Mani, who starred with Kwan in the music video for " Turn Down for What", which they directed. Kwan graduated in 2010 and Scheinert graduated in 2009.

Kwan and Scheinert met while they were both studying film at Emerson College in Boston. The latter became the independent production company A24's highest-grossing release, and won the duo many awards, including three Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. They have since ventured into film, having written and directed the absurdist comedy-dramas Swiss Army Man (2016) and Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). They began their career as directors of music videos, including ones for " Houdini" (2012) by Foster the People and " Turn Down for What" (2013) by DJ Snake and Lil Jon, both of which earned them nominations at the Grammy Awards. Daniel Kwan (born February 10, 1988) and Daniel Scheinert (born June 7, 1987), known collectively as Daniels, are an American filmmaker duo.
