Daniel L.

About

After a decade in the film & video industry, Dan realized that in a web-centric world, the captive audience that broadcast commercials took for granted no longer exists. He believes that authentic, entertaining, and meaningful content is what drives people to share a story--not a powerpoint slide filled with value propositions. He started Slow Clap in 2014 with the hopes of having an outlet to tell stories authentically; something he rarely got to do once he left film school. Dan was trained at NYU, where he received a B.F.A. in Film Production from the Tisch School of the Arts. He originally grew up on the Main Line of Philadelphia, but has lived in San Francisco’s Mission District since 2008. He’s collaborated with hundreds of brands like Sony PlayStation, Capital One, TNT, Apple, Google, Norton, Campari, Blue Shield of CA, and Environmental Defense Fund. His short films have appeared in festivals like SF DocFest, Oxford International, Cannes, and others. When you ask his team, they will tell you that Dan is the first to acknowledge when he’s wrong. It’s that sense of integrity and transparency that has helped him grow Slow Clap and keep clients happy. And these core values carry through into the work. What Dan loves most about running his own business is the collaborative relationships he has with his clients. Always open to brainstorm a new project, or contribute to an existing campaign, he loves developing and producing stories in a truly collaborative way. Dan won’t mention his interests outside of work, because Slow Clap is his passion and it keeps him busy around the clock. But if you spend any time at the office, you will definitely meet his better half, Rahel, who’s the secret sauce of Slow Clap’s success.
