About Daniel
Hello,
I'm Daniel Beals
aka Bealsebub

I’m a Los Angeles-based director and writer, crafting genre-driven stories and cinematic campaigns with emotional depth, sharp wit, and social bite. I started in comedy, but my work now spans sci-fi, horror, and drama—often blending genres to create bold, cinematic experiences that resonate.
As a director, my projects have earned awards and millions of views, including the Ubisoft/Defy Media promo Watch Dogs 2: In Real Life (6M+ views) and the dark comedy Mediating Kidnapper, which earned me a Best Director award. Over two decades working on set—from The Office and Parks & Recreation to The Dark Knight Rises, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Thor—have shaped my collaborative style, comedic sensibility, and passion for building immersive worlds.
As a writer, my features The Crimson Pool and The Empress of DäGar have placed in top screenwriting competitions, including Coverfly’s Summer Reading List and the Page Awards. Alongside my contract directing work, my ambition is simple: to direct a feature film. And then many more after that.
Through my production banner, Bealsebub Entertainment, I’m committed to telling stories that reflect a diverse, complex world—and to working with collaborators who value empathy, craft, and fearless storytelling. I aim to ignite audiences with stories that entertain, challenge, and connect. That’s what it’ll mean when you see:

Despising snow and the evils of wind chill, I live in sunny Los Angeles with my wife. We don’t have a dog yet—but that will likely be rectified with your next “We think you’d be great for our next project” email.
