An innovative force in modern film producing, Chris K. Daniels bridges creative vision with commercial success as founder of The Launch Company, an integrated entertainment ecosystem encompassing Cinelaunch, Launch Financing, and development operations that have facilitated over $100 million in deals since 2023. After gaining initial recognition with offbeat independent films that attracted audiences at Sundance and Cannes—Chris relocated to Los Angeles to scale his producing ventures. As a partner and advisor at Esme Grace—the boutique firm behind Michael Mann's "Ferrari"— and the founder of the Launch Funds, Chris has demonstrated his ability to package A-list talent maintaining artistic integrity. His forward-thinking approach to development, business strategy and financing ensures projects are both narratively compelling and market-ready.
