We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Bailey McAndrew and Dillan Juul . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Bailey McAndrew and Dillan Juul below.
Bailey McAndrew and Dillan Juul , appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the story of how you went from this being just an idea to making it into something real.
Dillan, Daily Productions co-founder, is our lead cinematographer! He moved to the United States from South Africa in 2016. He picked up a camera with a passion for capturing memories and went on to sell prints of his work. Deciding he wanted to learn more about his craft, he enrolled in New York Film Academy where he gained a ton of experience working in studios, on sets and expanding his knowledge in all things photography and videography. This is also where he met Bailey. While in California, Dillan was hired by CBS’ Jacob Young, most known for his roles in The Bold & The Beautiful, General Hospital and All My Children, as his personal content creator. During Dillan’s tenure with Jacob, he covered large events such as the iHeartRadio awards show and promotional events for The Bold & The Beautiful. Dillan is the man behind the scenes whose skills in lighting and camera work capture the beauty and detail of each unique project. Bailey made her introduction into the Houston film scene just over 10 years ago where she starred in many films and local commercials. Also wanting to expand her knowledge and build a wider network, she attended New York Film Academy where she found a passion in directing and producing. She was taught by professors who are top of their field, including Matthew Modine, most known for his role as Martin Brenner in Stranger Things and Ken Lerner, Most known for his roles on Friends, Scrubs and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Bailey has been integral in creative directing, writing scripts for projects, setting scenes, editing videos and teaching clients how to feel comfortable with their on-camera action and Voice Over tips.
Dillan & Bailey had just moved back to Houston after finishing school, he worked at a coffee shop and she a hair salon. Their first, and longest client to date, was a regular customer at the coffee shop. Dillan randomly struck up a conversation with them and it just so happened that the customer, a local business owner, was looking to hire a videographer soon. When Dillan returned from work he and Bailey discussed and Daily Productions, also known as Daily Pro Media Co, began as an idea drawn out on a whiteboard. That was 4 years ago. Since then, our business has been strictly connection building and word-of-mouth. We are taking it to the next level this year by promoting more than we ever have before, diving into the documentary film space with our first ever documentary that should be ready to submit into 2024 festivals and leveling up our skills by continuing to learn from fellow filmmakers and the thriving Houston film community!
