A few years ago, film editor Paul Rogers was meeting with the directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, along with producer Jonathan Wang, in Kwan’s back office in Highland Park.

Rogers had known and collaborated with the filmmaking duo — widely known as “Daniels” — for years. He edited some of their short films, as well as their 2014 music video for the DJ Snake and Lil Jon hit “Turn Down for What.”

Now, the Daniels were telling him about an ambitious feature film they wanted to make — a surrealistic, sci-fi dramedy about a Chinese-American father (later changed to a mother) who must save the world by teaming up with parallel universe versions of himself in a multiverse under attack.
