Daniela Capistrano (@dcap on Twitter) hails from California but in 2004 gave up road rage and boredom for the Big Apple. Since then she has been a creative nomad, most recently residing in an increasingly gentrified neighborhood in the South Bronx.

I recently wrapped a gig as 1st AD/producer for Ben Peyser’s film, 'DIE CAST.' It was shot on location in PA and NJ.

From 2006 to July 28, 2009, I was a staff Associate Producer at MTV News. I made content for all screens and was damn good at it. Nevertheless, I recently made the difficult decision to say goodbye, in order to make films and face the abyss.

Recent MTV highlights include kicking off 2009 by working in D.C. as a shooter/digital producer during MTV’s coverage of the presidential inauguration, where I achieved my personal goal of being in the same room with President Barack Obama. I was also a technical adviser for MTV’s Street Team ‘08, 51 state-based youth journalists who provided local coverage during the 2008 presidential election.

I freelance as a director, editor, writer and camera lady.

This Vimeo account will house reel clips and other personal creative work.
