Dream Team Directors

We help brands achieve worldwide recognition through cinematic, inspirational storytelling. Dream Team Directors is a LA-based, but global-minded, production and directing team specializing in branded content, commercials, fashion and lifestyle pieces, documentaries, and films that marry stunning visuals with meaningful, impactful narratives.

In 2007, the dynamic husband and wife filmmaker duo of Bayou Bennett and Daniel Lir founded Dream Team Directors. Their vision was to combine imagination, humor, beauty and a desire to positively impact the world through their stunning creative work.

In their 13 years of working as a stellar team, they have had the opportunity to collaborate, direct and produce with great talents such as Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo, Oscar nominee Juliette Lewis, Lea Michele of Fox's "Glee” and "Scream Queens", Coldplay, Lindsey Stirling and top model, Bella Hadid.

Their company motto, "Let our dream team manifest your dream", symbolizes the expansion and positive attention they win for their celebrity and high-profile brand clients such as Adidas, Atlantic Records, Smashbox Cosmetics, Chrome Hearts, Pfister Ladera and more.

Bayou and Daniels first film “Text Me” went viral hitting almost 4 million views on Youtube.

Their inspiring drama, “Tombstone Pillow”, shot in a Manila cemetery where 6,000 families live received a flood of awards including Best Inspiring Film, Best Drama, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Short Film bringing their total festival wins to over 60. "Tombstone Pillow" was introduced in Italy by one of their cinema heros, Oscar nominated actor, Edward Norton.

They won Best Picture and Best Director for their empowering fashion film "Time is Eternal" at the prestigious La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival 2022.

Most recently they won the Leonardo Award at the DaVinci International Film Festival for the documentary “Destination Angels” which also won Best Short Documentary at French Riviera Film Festival, Cannes.
