DANIELLE CALODNEY

Danielle Calodney is a director celebrated for her poppy, joyful comedy commercials that often feature food, families, and lovable lead characters. Growing up in the suburbs of North Texas, Danielle drew inspiration from Nickelodeon TV shows, Kurt Vonnegut books, and her beautifully chaotic, large combined family. These influences have shaped her ability to find beauty in the absurd.

Her character-driven work thrives in two genres: relatable comedy and captivating anthem films. Danielle deeply appreciates life’s ups and downs and has a unique talent for infusing hope into even the most serious moments. Her background in improv comedy has led her to create idiosyncratic, energetic worlds in comedy spots for brands like Snickers, Hostess, and Jack in the Box. Currently based in Austin, TX, Danielle continues to build vibrant, humorous narratives that resonate with audiences.
