Daniel Titz

Daniel Titz is a German commercials director who works in a duo with Dorian Lebherz under the name Dorian & Daniel. The two met on the first day of their course at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, and Visie dates that first meeting to 2012. Das Rund's profile of the pair says Daniel comes from northern Germany, while Visie lists the duo as based in Berlin and Vancouver.

As students they made Dear Brother, a Johnnie Walker spec ad about two brothers in the Scottish Highlands that won the Gold Screen Award at the 2016 Young Director Award; Visie puts its views above 20 million. Visie also credits them with a Samsung campaign that took five D&AD pencils, among them a Yellow Pencil, plus two Gold Lions and a Silver Lion at Cannes. Their reel at the production company Reset includes spots for Sony, KFC, BMW, Lavazza and Erste Bank.

The duo's AI-generated noir short The Well, about a rabbit detective investigating a wolf's murder, won Gold at Runway's 2026 AI Festival, the tier below the Grand Prix. Filmmaker reports the project took years and changed along with the tools, starting in ComfyUI and finishing with Kling 3.0 and Nano Banana. Titz told the magazine the pair resist being labelled AI filmmakers and that their first feature will not be fully synthetic, though AI may serve there as a visual-effects tool.
