Who is Daniel Tomei?
I'm the Bridge Between
Strategy, Execution, and Post-Production. 400+ Projects. One Producer.
I'm Daniel Tomei. For 20 years, I've made my living as a translator, not of languages, but of expertise. I take what physicians, founders, and specialists know cold and help them say it so the rest of us actually understand it: on camera, without dumbing it down or making them sound like someone they're not.
I produce, direct, and shoot video and photography, and I use AI to multiply the work, so a single good session becomes months of content. I've directed in operating rooms and on hospital campuses, photographed for global brands, and built libraries of scalable educational content. The clients who fit me best are doing work that helps people. That "good cause" filter is a big part of why the partnerships tend to last years.

What is a Fractional Creative Director and Producer?
You'll see me called a fractional creative producer. Here's what that means for you: a senior creative partner without a full-time salary, and without an agency's overhead and account layers.
A freelancer executes the task you hand them. An agency sells you a team and a markup. I sit between them as a trusted person who learns your world, makes the calls a creative director would, and does the hands-on work, too. When a job needs more hands, I bring in specialists I trust and stay your single point of contact throughout.
Highly recommend hiring Daniel. I have had the pleasure of working with Daniel on multiple projects for video, production and photography for the non-profit where I am a member of the Board of Directors.
He and his team are consistently professional, focused and meticulous, making the high quality and expert content they create appear effortless. He would be an excellent choice for any company or organization needing to share their mission with potential funders or customers.

WHY CLIENTS STAY 2-5 YEARS
Most creative partnerships last a few months. Mine average 2-5 years. Here's why:
CONSISTENCY
I understand your brand, your audience, your team dynamics. You're not starting over every project. The work gets better over time because I know what works for you.
MOMENTUM
Content compounds. The more we produce, the more your audience expects it, the more efficient production becomes. Year 3 looks different from Month 1 because we've built systems together.
STRATEGIC THINKING
I'm planning your content calendar, identifying gaps in your storytelling, suggesting what to create next based on what's working. You're getting creative strategy, not just production capacity.
RELIABILITY
You know when shoots happen, when content delivers, what the monthly cadence looks like.
No surprises. No scrambling. Just predictable, professional output.

GIVING BACK
I reserve time each year for mission-driven work.
Pro Bono Production for Organizations That Matter
Every year, I dedicate production time to nonprofits, community organizations, or cause-driven initiatives whose work measurably helps people. If your organization needs professional video or photography to advance its mission, whether for patient education, community impact storytelling, fundraising campaigns, volunteer recruitment, or socio-economical and environmental causes, I want to hear from you.
What I'm looking for:
- Organizations with clear, measurable impact
- Projects that serve underserved communities
- Missions aligned with healthcare, education, or social good
- Teams ready to collaborate and maximize the content's reach
What you get:
- Full production services (strategy, filming, editing, delivery)
- Professional-quality content you can actually use
- Organized assets and distribution-ready files
I take on 1-2 pro bono projects per year. If your work matters and you need content that reflects that, let's talk.

READY TO WORK TOGETHER?
No pitch. No pressure.
Just a conversation.
I'm based in Chicago and work nationally. If your work helps people and you need it seen and understood, we'll probably get along.
