Dominic Mercurio is an award-winning San Francisco based filmmaker and musician. His video work has premiered on Billboard, FADER, PopMatters, The Bay Bridged, and has been featured at SFMOMA. He’s worked with Tune-Yards, The Seshen, Pomplamoose, Foxtails Brigade, and more. He was selected as a 2023 SFFILM FilmHouse Resident. His most recent project, a music video series / short film hybrid titled CYAN, was screened at the 2020 editions of Film Fort, Portland Film Festival, and Drunken Film Fest Oakland.

While he has become known for his surreal and nightmarish music videos over the past half-decade, Dominic has just completed his first narrative short to hit the festival circuit titled He Won't Belong. This queer drama shot in Sea Ranch, CA and starring Cole Doman and Joel DeCandio, tells the story of two men who meet in the midst of a coastal storm. While they wait for the storm to pass, they begin to uncover each others past. The film will premiere at festivals in 2023.

Outside of film, he co-hosts a film review podcast Totally Tell Me and plays drums in the Oakland-based band Foxtails Brigade. He has played at major venues and festivals across San Francisco and beyond; such as The Fillmore, Great American Music Hall, El Rey Theatre, Noise Pop, and SXSW.

Born and raised in the SF Bay Area, Dominic has a B.S. in Digital Film and Video Production from the Art Institute of California – San Francisco.
