Daniil Vasilyev is a multi-disciplinary artist with a focus on bridging filmmaking and psychological research.

When watching a movie, where do people look? When do they cry? What are they thinking about during the final act?

By examining these questions through a psychological lens, Daniil tries to apply the current knowledge of how media impacts viewers' cognition and create film techniques that are more audience-minded. 

 

Specializing in directing and screenwriting, Daniil has made numerous commercials and short films utilizing these ideas.

Daniil graduated from the University of British Columbia with a BFA in Film Production and from Birkbeck, University of London with a MSc in Psychological Research Methods. He published numerous research papers in the field of film psychology.
