Danny Crossman served for 10 years in the Army as an explosives expert before joining the technology industry in Canada. He led several successful businesses including a software startup for 5 years. He began making films for his kids to bring their ideas to life on screen and now has 1 documentary and 5 shorts under his belt.
My focus is usually on veteran themes and stories and where possible in creating in-camera effects with realistic set design. PTSD is a common theme in my films, as are the unglamourous and untold veteran experiences.
