DannelEscallon
Cinematographer
Born and raised in Miami, Fl. The son of a Cuban & Colombian immigrant, Dannel was brought up in a traditional latin household filled with art, music, and arroz y frijoles for dinner almost every night. From an early age he had an affinity for the arts, studying classical and contemporary dance from the age of 6 through high school. It wasn’t until college that he redirected his focus towards filmmaking. In 2005, he left for Los Angeles and dived into the industry head first. To date, he has worked on over 100 music videos for artists such as Nick Jonas, J Balvin, A$AP Rocky, Pink, Drake, Foster The People, Selena Gomez. In the last few years, he has moved on to shoot commercials for Nike, Disney and Mercedes Benz. When not on set, he enjoys spending his free time with family and cooking old Cuban recipes from his Abuela's cookbook.
