Birmingham native Daniel Scheinert and his professional partner Daniel Kwan have GoldenGlobes nominations for best director and best screenplay for the hit movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
. The consensus says, “Led by an outstanding Michelle Yeoh, ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ lives up to its title with an expertly calibrated assault on the senses.” The film follows an aging Chinese immigrant swept up in an insane adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes connecting with the lives she could have led.
Born in Birmingham, Scheinert attended Oak Mountain Elementary and Middle Schools before going to high school at the International Baccalaureate School at Shades Valley. His parents, Ken and Becky, now live in Guntersville. His dad said Scheinert got into filmmaking through local competitions and musical theater during high school.
“I think I’m lucky that my parents encouraged creative endeavors,” Scheinert told AL.com. “My mom grew up in Guntersville, but she and all her sisters were super into music and the arts. My mom went to Auburn for art before getting a business degree and working for BellSouth. So they encouraged me and my brother to do Odyssey of the Mind and Destination Imagination as a kid, which were creativity competitions that we did. And I got really into theater.
“But the film bug, it was 20 percent just me doing what my brother did, because he and his friends were all making movies for fun, and they had a public access TV show that they only made like two episodes of, but I loved it. And Sidewalk Film Festival just blew my mind when I made a movie in high school with my best friends and it played for an audience and they liked it. I was like, ‘This is incredible.
Scheinert said Sidewalk Film Festival is “still my favorite film festival,” so he attends anytime he can. “I always tell other filmmakers that it’s the right size of a film festival where you can walk to all the theaters, and it’s just one fun weekend. A lot of film festivals are like two weeks, and it’s all spread out.”shot in and around the greater Birmingham area.
