About Daniel

I'm a Drama Director/Self-Shooter based in the South East with experience in a range of genres and programme types- from short-form fiction and drama to music videos, event filming and corporates. Much of my experience has been on fiction work- something which I believe has made me a better storyteller, which is ultimately what film and video production is all about!

I am an experienced director of low-budget drama and have directed several shorts including episodes of an online scifi drama series called "The Collector's Room." I also run a showreel scene production service (.uk) for actors looking to shoot dramatic content for their reels- enabling me to work in a variety of genres and styles. I work well with actors- having been an (admittedly unsuccessful!) actor in my youth- and understand their needs and processes for creating strong performances. Because of my experience as a lighting cameraman and my multi-skilled background, I am also well-placed to communicate effectively with a crew so as to bring a film to life.

I'm quite used to working on tight budgets and/or with limited resources and pride myself on being an innovative and creative filmmaker with an ability to think from the edit backwards, thus saving time and money. I'm a firm believer that "Content is King" and try to put all my energy into telling a good story.
