Directing Work
We also work as a directing team specializing in branded content. We write, pitch, and develop the concepts in collaboration with production companies, media companies, and directly with brands. Some of our favorite directing projects are below. Our directing reel can be viewed at KimbAndDan.com
NEW YORK TIMES + SWEETGREEN
We concepted & directed this film for TBrand Studio, the branded content arm of The New York Times. Venturing out on the waters of Coastal Maine in January to uncover the story of lobstermen turned sea farmers was an incredible experience. We hope sustainably farmed kelp becomes a mainstay of American cuisine.

HOW DATA DRIVES INNOVATION AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE
We directed this film for Courageous, the branded content studio for Great Big Story and CNN. It was exciting to dive into the world of sneaker science and bring the idea of athletic precision to life.

Highlighting Local & Black-Owned Businesses
2020 was tough and we lamented not being able to support small and local businesses as much as we would have liked. So when Unaffiliated reached out to us with the opportunity to create a film for black-owned businesses in partnership with The Spicy Green Gook and RE:STORE we jumped at the chance.
You will not find better coffee or better people than at The Reverse Orangutan.
