Varoujan Daniel Messier

Daniel was born in Switzerland before moving to South America and then returning to Switzerland as a teen-ager. His athletic skills allowed him to attend University in the United States on a tennis scholarship where he earned a B.A in Criminal Justice and later a Master's in Elementary Education. An avid traveler, reader and writer, Daniel has used his international experiences to write original content and in 2010 Daniel signs a co-production deal with Argentinean director Martin Yernazian and Atorrante Films to produce short films, documentaries and feature films. His travels to Brazil lead him to years of research which spawned his involvement and original development of the Netflix show "NARCOS". In addition, he has optioned scripts to Amazon studios, and Sony pictures. Daniel is constantly looking for the human angle in every production he is a part of.
