Hey there! Welcome to my page.

My name is Daniel Crawford, I'm a third year Film and Television Production student at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California. I was raised in the northern Chicago suburbs, and cultivated by a love of storytelling from an early age.

I used to attend my oldest brother‘s Boy Scout campouts and tell scary stories, do impressions of SNL characters like Matt Foley, and took plenty of acting classes through musical theater over 9 years. In middle school, I took part in a Filmmaking for Social Change Program, where students wrote and acted in 10 minute short films played at schools all over the country.

I was fortunate enough to attend Interlochen Center for the Arts for four summers as a camper, and had the opportunity to study art, film and music. I really wanted to hone my craft in high school, taking media studies classes for two years, where I got to create a variety of different film projects and explored different styles, winning my school’s film festival two years in a row.

After graduation, I started college where I learned about roles in production, worked on plenty of student and grad student sets, studied abroad in Bonn, Germany, and took many excellent classes including Screenwriting, History of Television, and Religion and Film. Over two more of my college summers I went back to Interlochen as a camp counselor and Film and New Media Teaching Assistant, assisting with an editing class and a film history course, giving a presentation on the James Bond films.
