If you were to ask director Daryl Wein what actor should portray him in a movie, he would say “Meryl Streep”. His ability to scan the recesses of his brain to come up with this quick-witted answer is what makes Daryl’s brand of comedy particularly engaging…
While Daryl was born in Los Angeles, his current residence, he grew up in Westport, Connecticut. He is the son of a creative director in advertising and is a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts (for acting) and the USC School of Cinematic Arts. His first feature “Breaking Upwards”, starring his wife and frequent collaborator Zoe Lister-Jones, was an official selection in the narrative competition at the SXSW Film Festival and earned a theatrical release.
Daryl went on to direct “Lola Versus” starring Greta Gerwig and most recently “White Rabbit”, which premiered at Sundance in 2018. He also has branded content experience directing the short film, “Let’s Get Digital” for AT&T and Vice and worked on a PSA for NRDC featuring Thomas Middleditch from the TV series “Silicon Valley”. In addition, Daryl has directed an episode of “Mozart In The Jungle” for Amazon and has a director/executive producer credit for “Pay No Attention”, a TV series for Refinery29’s channel. The series is based on the lead character played by Vivian Bang in “White Rabbit” .
Since it’s good to get a perspective from a person who is the subject of a bio, we asked Daryl to tell us what three words describe him best. He answered “grilled cheese sandwich”. We’ll just leave that one right here…
