Director
Dann learned his craft in the camera department, as DoP and operator, working on the floor on episodics, features and commercials before moving into the director’s chair. Naturally, he has an eye for visuals, and his experience gives him a unique perspective when it comes to the complexities of shoots and the demands of production schedules. He’s directed numerous commercials and promos as well as several well-received short films and is keen to work more in episodic drama. He’s based in London and available to work worldwide.
