Director
Bio Danielle Shapira
Danielle is a director based out of Los Angeles.
She got her “start” writing, producing, and performing sketch comedy before ultimately making her way behind the camera. For the last decade, She’ve made Internet-breaking video work (isn’t that how we measure our success these days?) and fully pivoted to commercial directing in 2022. Since then, She’ve directed national campaigns for Toyota, Taco Bell, AT&T, Chips Ahoy!, Topo Chico, and Tic Tac. Most of them are funny.
She was selected for SHOOT Magazine’s 21st Annual New Director Showcase and was a Commercial Director Diversity Program finalist two years in a row. Her various projects have been recognized by the Webby, Telly, Streamy, Global ACE, and MUSE Awards, and have been featured by press publications like Ad Age and Muse by Clio. Whether She’s working with an up-and-coming Tik Tok star, Fortune 500 company, or A-List celebrity, She brings out the best of the campaign with her comedic relatability and human touch.
On weekends you can find her searching for her new favorite breakfast burrito, or squished in between her two dogs and two cats.
