Daniel Gillin, a native Californian says that from the time he was old enough to crawl, he was pushing a ball around or singing into a microphone. His Executive father and show biz mother gave him a great combination of athletic prowess and stage presence. Living a normal childhood with his two parents, Gillin did the typical activities growing up, Little League baseball and basketball, surfing, skating, skiing and playing in a Rock Band where he was the lead singer. But of all the hobbies he enjoyed, writing was his passion. Whether it was writing sports articles for newspapers, editorials or just poems for his girlfriends, Gillin displayed a true gift of gab on paper and in front of crowds.

Although writing is his passion, Gillin feels his niche will be directing. Dan has a natural vision on life and what needs to be shown to the masses to continue the healing process. In addition Gillin has lived the life of the stories he tells.

Gillin also owns a management company, Paradi$e Entertainment, which includes models, musicians and up and coming actors. His vision is to create the next generation of great actors and feature them in his films. Gillin has spent eight years in the business and has a very impressive list of Producers, Directors, Actors and Financiers attached to his projects, Paradi$e, Road To Nowhere, The Trophy, The Pick Up, Burn Off and Feelin' Compton.
