Daniel Croix is an actor, writer/director, and producer whose work spans film, television, streaming, theatre, and the international festival circuit.

His Oscar-qualified short ‘Huli’ screened across the US and abroad, and was curated at the Kino Babylon cinema in Berlin. He’s an alumni of the NAACP Director’s Cohort where he co-wrote/directed ‘Oasis,’ which screened at Lincoln Center. He produces a slate of artful character-driven films at Ringshout Productions.

When not on set, Daniel can be found free-diving in the ocean, visiting sacred sites, cherishing family, and collaborating with friends - combining reverence for land/oceans, cinema, and consciousness. Born in Buffalo, NY, he has a BFA in Acting from SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Theatre Arts & Film. He lives in Los Angeles and Honolulu, traveling widely to act, direct, guest lecturer, and collaborate on projects rooted in community, craft, and story.
