The Team

Daniel Kahana | Writer/Director/"Evan"

Daniel Kahana is a queer Swiss-American writer/director/performer based in Los Angeles. Having grown up in Geneva, Switzerland, he is still adjusting to life on the other side of the Atlantic one day at a time. Despite Geneva being an international melting pot and having attended a school with students from over 100 different countries, ethnicities, and religions, Daniel never felt like he fit in. This drove his move to Hollywood where he strives to tell stories for those who never saw themselves reflected on screen. After graduating the University of Pennsylvania, he has worked at a major talent agency, with shows for HBO and ABC, and is currently developing TV with prolific writers and directors. Now, he's excited to make his first short film.
