Danielle Katvan is an award-winning director of narrative and commercial content. A born and raised New Yorker living in Los Angeles, her directing style is defined by its heightened visual aesthetic and offbeat, comedic sensibility. She directed LEGO’s Play Unstoppable campaign featuring Megan Rapinoe and a lineup of international women soccer players, which won a 2024 Gold Telly Award. Her branded film for Vogue, Coatcheck Stories, earned a Silver Clio, and her comedic instincts took center stage in Hilton Hotels’ viral The Ad You Stay In, a groundbreaking 10-minute TikTok that Adweek named one of the best ads of 2023.

On the narrative side, her short films have received numerous accolades including the Kodak Award for Excellence in the Craft of Filmmaking, Best Short Film at the San Diego International Film Festival, and a World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
