Los Angeles-based director Dan Streit has signed to Stink Films for global representation, working across music promos and advertising.

Dan Streit (above, image by Cole Kush) has built an impressive portfolio of work as a multi-talented director and editor, working with numerous artists and brands, transitioning to directing from a background in editing and VFX. He has worked with the likes of BROCKHAMPTON, Charli XCX and Beats by Dr Dre, and his most recent music video is the thought-provoking promo for Joji's Glimpse of Us, which premiered in June, amassed over 28 million views on YouTube in less than a month, inspiring a viral TikTok trend.

Other work includes creating a Stomp-inspired campaign for Kerwin Frost’s Adidas Summer 2022 Collection, starring Mac DeMarco, Teezo Touchdown and Tim Robinson amongst many others, and the music video for TNGHT's Brick Figures.

On graduating from Chapman University in 2015 Streit worked freelance for TMWRK Management, leading to opportunities to direct music videos for the likes of Diplo, Major Lazer, Jack U and Dillon Francis. The development of his distinctively off-kilter visual style and aesthetic came from working directly with musician friends including Shakewell, Zack Villere and Jim-E Stack. He is also the co-founder of boundary-pushing post-production animation studio Grin Machine, with director/animator Cole Kush.

"I came across Dan’s work a couple of years ago and was immediately blown away," says Ryland Burns, Stink’s US EP & Head of Music Videos. "All of his films offer this strange, distorted, off-kilter take on reality that I hadn’t seen before. On top of that, Dan embodies a refreshing DIY, self-starter mentality - directing, producing, editing, and doing visual effects all himself. He approaches every project with a modern perspective, and most recently has shown an insane natural ability to confidently and seamlessly adapt his unique workflow and filmmaking process to the commercial landscape. We couldn’t be more excited to represent him for commercials and music videos at Stink and be a part of his wild world."

And about his signing to Stink FIlms, Streit says: “The team at Stink have always been incredibly supportive and encouraging to me over the years, before having even worked together. I’m very excited about the opportunity to officially partner with Stink to make work that stands out as refreshing in an oversaturated media landscape.”
