Hit play on any Dan Streit video and you will be dropped into a different dimension. Whether you’re viewing one of his standout commercials, or iconic promos or animations, nothing will be as expected.
Most recently, Dan directed the viral video ‘HELICOPTER’ for A$AP Rocky – largely interpreted as an ode to early 2000s gaming, the promo is a masterclass of human-led animation and creativity. ‘HELICOPTER’ is also a continuation of Dan’s long-standing creative relationship with Rocky, with his 2025 spots ‘Get it A$AP’ for Cash App and the Moncler x A$AP Rocky ‘Don’t Be Dumb. Be Genius’ campaign forefronting his extraordinary skill at not only blending narrative with live and animated environments, but also challenging the role of advertising in the broader scope of culturally relevant work.
The LA-based filmmaker’s previous high-octane promos also include genre-bending films for Paris Texas, Joji, and Charli XCX, which continue to display his warped comedic sensibility, 3D VFX wizardry, and appreciation for 90s nostalgia.
More widely, Dan’s commercial clients include Nike, Moncler, McDonald’s and Cash-App, as well as jaw-dropping multi-brand collaboration projects such as SpongeBob x Cactus Flea Market x Uniqlo, and Nike x Nigo, as well as his tripped-out Kerwin Frost projects like ‘The Cosmonaut’ for Beats by Dre. Dan’s Super Bowl spot, ‘Cold Foam’ for Coffee Mate, was one of his boldest and most off-kilter ads last year.
Dan also runs creative studio Grin Machine, whose animation toolkit often plays a pivotal role in bringing to life his visual realms.
