About Darren

I have been interested in writing and making films since I was 8 years old. Where I grew up, there weren't many opportunities to work in the Film/TV industry (especially not for an 8 year old), but thankfully more and more productions are now being made here.

I have worked as a Cinema Manager, a Graphic Designer, an Animator and I'm currently employed as a part-time Lecturer in Visual Effects by day and a full-time VFX Supervisor by night (and day).

During what little free time I have, I write. One of these days I hope to bring some of these stories to the screen.
