Meet Daniel Vera | Film Producer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Daniel Vera and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Daniel, do you disagree with some advice that is more or less universally accepted?
Doing what everybody else thinks is right or wrong- in our industry or any industry for that matter there’s always a need to follow up with trends, styles, workflows etc however truly being able to stand out above the noise and make an impact everyday really starts out by leading with vigorous and astounding ideas .There has been many times, we at MAD have risked it all on set, with clients, you name it to bring about concepts we knew in our heart were going to be both impactful and innovative. That ability to create major change and lead instead of following while being open to listen and communicate is what makes us stand out above the noise and what truly makes us who we are.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Mad Brother is a creative production company specialized in a variety of commercials, advertisements, brand films, music videos, and documentaries. We reach out to our customers visual needs with customized and personalized ideas for their brand or site and match them with the right team to bring their ideas to fruition. ​ By storytelling with our beautiful cinematography, good scripts, and spotless design we aim to take brands to their fullest potential. Over the years we have had the chance to work along legendary brands like New Balance, Absolut Vodka, Nike, UFC Gyms, Corona, American Eagle. Marriott/Hilton/ W Hotels among many many other business of all scales and are constantly looking to improve and create innovative ideas. This journey however has not been easy and at many times has been overwhelming and frustrating but the way we like to think about our own business is like a plant we are constantly watering and protecting to make sure it keeps thriving and growing

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
This is a fun one! Uh, I think you have to get down to the basics and give them a stroll through Uptown to enjoy some delicious Thai food at Malai Kitchen. Visit the DMA. Enjoy margaritas and views at Trinity Groves. Walk the Harwood district and enjoy a Game night at Happiest Hour. Take my cowboy boots out and hit the stockyard area in Ft Worth. The DFW metro area is so rich and flexible, there’s always something exciting going on

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Absolutely- as a storyteller looking back a lot of people have truly made an impact in my life and I am beyond thrilled every day to meet people all over the world who are doing such a great impact at so many scales in so many things. However, I want to give a Shoutout to one of the main persons that made MAD happen and that is my brother Sebastian; not only he has taught me all his life and mentored me in the industry since a very young age but he is also the creative/business right hand that keeps the team together and thriving
