Daniel Ruggie is an emerging filmmaker, artist, and photographer from Chicago Illinois.

Based in Los Angeles, California, he continues to refine his self-taught craft, hustling to create bold and vivid projects with intention and quality. The goal has been, and always will be, to surpass everything given.

Since 2023, Daniel has pushed himself to build his visual language. He started with underground hip-hop shows & music videos while also shooting stylized shorts for his university's athletic teams. Daniel continues to evolve, collaborating with the next generation of creatives, creating a library of knowledge for the music, art, fashion, and film culture which continuously inspires him.

With works in art galleries, Chicago Film Festivals, and experience with global brands like the BMW CHAMPIONSHIP, Daniel has only recognized the surface of his artistic voice.
