Filmmaking is life. It is everything around us - the stories we hear, the encounters we have. We are all making films with our lives, I just make some of these stories/experiences last longer through this format. Filmmaking always, has to be - life.
Based in Norwich, England Danny works primarily as a Writer and Director making short films since 2009 to obtain more knowledge about the filmmaking processes. Through this time he also worked in other capacities including Camera Operator, First Assistant Director, Editor and others on many projects. More recently Danny has been moving into the Feature Length circuit, and as of December 2018 has completed two entitled “No More Lights in the Sky” which has begun a festival run and “Soldiers of Embers” soon to be in talks for distribution.
Danny’s education in film consists of two years studying Film, Media and Photography at college gaining more experience through working in the visual medium, then Film Production in a more formal setting during one year at university. After this he created a film company to start off his journey of filmmaking.
Danny likes nothing more than sitting down and conceptualising other worlds and scenarios whilst scripting his next set of films in the hopes of moving onwards and upwards with his film career.
