Mill+ is thrilled to welcome Daniel Ryan to its global directorial roster.

Daniel’s projects range from projection-mapped spots for Neutrogena to docu-style pieces for brands like Wrigley’s 5 Gum to music driven films for artists the likes of Regina Spektor and Interpol.
Daniel has also been recognized by several awards, most notably by the Clios, Webby’s and SXSW.
Most recently, he completed two fully immersive films for a large-format, ten-screen video installation on display on the ceiling canopy at 900 N Michigan Shops, one of downtown Chicago’s most luxurious and popular malls.
