Daniel Ruczko, a self-taught director, composer, and writer, was born on July 3rd, 1982, in Bremen, Germany. His passion for music began at the tender age of 12, and he started recording mini DV films with his childhood friend Florian when he was just 15 years old.
As a young adult, Daniel spent most of his twenties touring the globe as a producer and DJ, releasing records on numerous labels. However, his true calling was in the world of film, and his big break came in 2010 when he won an award for the concept of his short film "Bipolar - A Narration of Manic Depression." This recognition was a turning point in his career, as it earned him his first awards and brought him a significant amount of attention.
Since then, Daniel has gone on to receive over 60 awards for his short films, including accolades for "Best Director," "Best Original Music," and "Best Short Film." His films have also been screened at the prestigious Short Film Corner of the Festival DE Cannes three years in a row, solidifying his reputation as a talented and innovative filmmaker.
