Daniel Wind is a skilled creative professional who brings integrity, innovation, and his unique perspective to the field of digital media production.
While attending Florida State University as a Theater Studies major in 2011, Daniel acted in a short film for the FSU Film School. After observing the production process on set, he became fascinated with the collaborative process of filmmaking. The following year, he wrote, directed, filmed, and edited his first short film, submitting it as his production sample when applying to FSU's Media Production program. He was one of 50 students admitted to the two-year program. He learned the fundamentals of digital media production in the program while continuing his theater degree. Daniel graduated with a dual degree in Digital Media Production and Theater Studies in 2014.
Since graduating, Daniel has worked diligently to refine his filmmaking skills. He currently works at Wounded Warrior Project in the role of Multimedia Specialist. In this role, Daniel has had the privilege of honing a diverse skillset for filmmaking and content creation, such as creative development, project management, producing, directing, filming, and editing. For the past four years, he has produced documentary content for various mental health awareness campaigns and social media content for WWP's social channels. Daniel is also the strategic lead and principal multimedia producer for WWP's Carry Forward 5K, a national 5K fundraising event.
Prior to working in the non-profit sector, Daniel has worked with a handful of production companies around the state of Florida (TREW Media, Sasquatch Studios, Silver Digital Media), a television production company (Greenlight Television), and two research institutes at Florida State University (LSI, FCRR).
In his free time, Daniel loves exploring the outdoors, playing disc golf, and spending time with friends and family. He also does experimental photography and has his work featured in a local cafe in Jacksonville, FL where he currently lives.
