[_Everything Everywhere All at Once_](https://time.com/6164962/everything-everywhere-all-at-once-review/ "undefined") is such an extraordinarily funny film, and also I haven’t cried like that in a movie for so long. You have to be so smart to earn as many jokes as they did, to go to an insane place then also go to the most profound places imaginable. When I saw that movie, I just thought, “Yeah, I don’t need to see another film for a while. This has given me everything I need.” The ­Daniels are also so well rounded. They’re amazing writers with serious technical knowledge and incredible hearts. There’s a deep earnestness to a lot of their work, in addition to the insanity. When I worked with them on 2016’s [_Swiss Army Man_](https://time.com/4371204/swiss-army-man-review/ "undefined")_,_ I learned a lot from them about how I would like to run a set if I get the chance to direct one day. Everyone on set felt they could contribute ideas, and they were being heard and listened to. It was intensely collaborative. It’s weird now to have [one of my favorite films](https://time.com/6163777/michelle-yeoh-everything-everywhere-all-at-once-interview/ "undefined") be made by people I know. It’s also very cool. I just hope that they keep getting to make exactly the films that they want to make. _Radcliffe is an actor_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2022/6213736/daniel-kwan-and-daniel-scheinert/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2022/6213736/daniel-kwan-and-daniel-scheinert/"},"headline":"2022 TIME100 Next: Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan","datePublished":"2022-09-28T09:54:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:06:04.061Z","description":"Find out how Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are shaping the future and defining the next generation of leadership.","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2022/6213736/daniel-kwan-and-daniel-scheinert/","keywords":["TIME 100 Next"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9721cf6d8e43935c/698a35c5929fad5e2fbf90a5/time100-next-daniel-kwan-daniel-scheinert.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9721cf6d8e43935c/698a35c5929fad5e2fbf90a5/time100-next-daniel-kwan-daniel-scheinert.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2022/6213736/daniel-kwan-and-daniel-scheinert/","name":"2022 TIME100 Next: Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME100 Next: See Every Honoree","description":"See every 2022 TIME100 Next honoree in under two minutes.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/i4LJ3fau/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2022-09-28T10:00:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/i4LJ3fau.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2022/6213736/daniel-kwan-and-daniel-scheinert/","duration":"PT1M59S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2022/6213736/daniel-kwan-and-daniel-scheinert/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
