While this became a place of steady income it was something that kept creativity far out of reach.At age 28 after receiving word that he would soon need heart surgery a new spark for letting a creative voice be heard emerged again. Over the course of the last three years Daniel stepped away from the event videography space committing his company, To Tony Productions, to only producing original short and feature film productions.Currently Daniel is studying for his Masters Degree in Film at Anaheim University, while also working on his first novel.
