Born and raised in Basel, Switzerland, Daniel grew up with an abiding interest in both film and computer games.

He spent his formative years making playhouses out of Apple PET boxes and furthering his "Lemonade Stand" empire.

At age twelve, he wrote his first screenplay, a blatant rip-off of "Grease 2", which Swiss National Television (SRF) decided to help him produce on Super 8 film for their series "Saelber Gmacht" (Self-Made).

After the glorious days of VIC20 "Pacman" and Atari 2600 wonders like "Chopper Command" and "Moon Buggy", Daniel and his brother Michael (www.bitsnap.ch) spent hours upon hours learning English by playing "The Hobbit" on ZX Spectrum, translating every word from a German-English dictionary.

The early English lessons paid off: In 1992, Daniel moved to Los Angeles, California to study screenwriting at the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television.

After graduating in 1996, Daniel wrote and directed his first independently produced feature film "KOLOBOS". It can currently be seen on Showtime.

Today, Daniel is in active development of ideas blending his longtime interest in film and games. He envisions a bright future for interactive entertainment that can both enlighten and entertain.
