Daniel Cross founded EyeSteelFilm in 2001 with the philosophy that film is a medium for affecting social and political change. He first made his mark with the award-winning, feature length documentaries, The Street: A Film With The Homeless (Hot Docs! Audience choice award) and S.P.I.T: Squeegee Punks In Traffic. Daniel also directed and co-produced the Gemini nominated Too Colorful For The League and co-directed the NFB's Inuuvunga: I am Inuk, I am Alive.

Daniel’s most recent project is the Homeless Nation, a new media community building initiative and online documentary of homelessness in Canada. He teaches film production at Concordia University, and is an active member of the CFTPA, DOC and Observatoire du Documentaire.
