Bio & background

Dani Kind is a Toronto-based Canadian director whose commercial practice sits at the intersection of dry, performance-led comedy and emotionally honest cause work. In July 2025, Holiday Films and Nimble Content under the Holiday United Group signed her for commercial representation, citing inventive storytelling and a strong comedic perspective. She is widely known on camera as a lead on CBC/Netflix’s Workin’ Moms—a three-time Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy—and for Wynonna Earp. Her marquee commercial credit is the 2026 PSA Don’t Wait For Weird for DontWaitForWeird.com, created with Superhuman and produced by Holiday Films. The 45-second film uses an Alter Ego VFX octopus tentacle as a comic stand-in for symptoms women are told to ignore, driving early breast-cancer screening. Kind co-wrote and directed the one-day Snowmageddon shoot in a real medical office with a bare-minimum camera package and augmented practical lighting; shots and LBB framed it as clever cause comedy rather than a preachy PSA. Earlier directing includes the surreal short Signs (2025), dark space comedy Capsule (2024), Debra (2023), The Strumbellas’ “Hardlines” music video (2025), a Workin’ Moms episode (2023), and episodes of We Three Queens (2024).
