Dan is a multitalented filmmaker adept in all stages of the filmmaking process – conceptualisation, shooting, editing, colour grading and audio mixing. Dan has created dozens of films including music videos, social advocacy, corporate video, event documentation and drama. Dan has a special interest in social justice and frequently mentors marginalised young people through filmmaking and digital storytelling.

Prior to his career in film production Dan worked for 15 years as a multimedia communications designer a skill-set that spans graphic design, motion graphics animation and video editing. This background dovetails with Dan’s cinematography skills to allow him to independently cover all aspects of film production. On large projects Dan has demonstrated capability in sub-contracting and directing other creatives as needed. This is demonstrated in his early career as an Art Director for multimedia design studios.

Outside of work, Dan has played for 20 years in punk rock band Sixfthick which was the subject of the 2010 ABC documentary Sixfthick: Notes from the Underground. Dan scored the incidental music for this film.
