Hello, my future, past, or current friend.
I’m Daniel (or Daniil, if you need to see the way it’s spelled in my passport).
Liakh is my surname.
I’m a director, writer and a somewhat pleasant person to be around.
If I wasn’t making films I’d probably be dead. Or a failed comedian, selling photos of my feet to feed three dogs and two ferrets.
I believe that a group of people laughing together can fix almost anything, pizza tastes better cold and Metallica is the best rock band of all time.
I am still waiting to be proved wrong on any of the three points.
I’m represented by Spindle in the UK and the Netherlands and Hiersoir in France.
Please send scripts and let’s make some sweet sweet magic.
