About me
Daniel Ennett is a filmmaker, artist, and disability advocate from Amiskwacîwâskahikan (ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ, so-called Edmonton). An above-elbow/knee quadruple amputee, Daniel’s work challenges perceptions of disability through raw storytelling and striking visuals.
He hosted three seasons of the hit web series Invincible and the short film Beneath the Surface for TELUS, documenting his dives—literally—into adaptive sports like skiing, skydiving, and scuba diving with sharks. He produced the 35mm art film Form and Function and earned a psychology degree with first-class honours in 2020.
Daniel’s upcoming projects include Flesh Ballet, an experimental art film confronting ableism, and The Crip Trip—a punk-rock docu-series for Accessible Media Inc. that redefines care work through the stories of disabled artists. He recently directed two seasons of CBC’s PUSH, following a cast of Disabled creators in Edmonton, and co-created Pain and Offering for TELUS, a series exploring chronic illness and the arts in Western Canada.
Beyond film, Daniel’s painting and photography practice shines a light on the beauty and complexity of Disabled experience.
