About Danny Takacs

Danny Takacs is a designer and maker based in Cincinnati who runs two very different businesses. Quicklisting, launched in early 2024, began as a tool that automatically submits SaaS and AI products to more than 150 online directories and has since grown into a fractional marketing service covering content, social media, email, ads and backlink outreach for tech startups.

Danny is also the owner of Cosmic Films, which launched in 2021 as a YouTube channel for short horror films, expanded into distributing feature films on streaming platforms in 2023, and now focuses on international indie horror and sci-fi across services such as Tubi, Prime Video and Apple TV. They also directed the 2021 horror film The Eldritch Dreams and runs the Creepy Calendar YouTube channel.
