Daniel Scheinert is best known as the redneck half of the writing/ directing duo DANIELS along with Daniel Kwan. Together they won Best Director at Sundance 2016 for their feature film Swiss Army Man, and Best Director at the MTV VMAs 2014 for &#8220;Turn Down for What.&#8221; Scheinert was born and raised in Alabama, and plays the titular role in his latest film, <a href="https://a24films.com/films/the-death-of-dick-long" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Death of Dick Long </a>(out September 27 through A24) because the screenwriter Billy Chew dared him to.

Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (DANIELS) are an award-winning directing duo. One time they won Best Director at The MTV Video Music Awards, but both their moms were bummed that they don’t announce that category on TV. They made all their music videos and short films with Prettybird, and they’re represented by Mosaic. Okay, bye.
