About me

Hello. Thanks for stopping by. My name is Dan and I am an East Dorset/New Forest based film industry professional who specialises in the fields of script development and production management. I have recently graduated from Bournemouth University, completing a masters degree in film and TV production, and am looking to expand my understanding and experience in these fields. Truth be told, I am always eager to collaborate with any directors and producers who are looking to bring their visions onto the screen. I pride myself in taking a professional approach to all undertakings; over-delivering on promises is my personal work ethic. 

For the purposes of my masters study and vocational application, I was able to demonstrate and improve upon creative and logistical production disciplines, collaborating with a screenwriter in writing and developing a short film project which I served as the producer for. Concurrent to this, I also served as a production manager for another film, tasked with having to organise and supervise the safety and effective running of a shoot in the midst of the global pandemic situation. 

I have completed a number of freelancing script reading assignments, both for individuals, production houses and script consultancies. These include Size 9 Productions, Script Angel and Bang2Write. It is a great joy and privilege to be privy to the writing styles and behaviours of my eclectic and diverse peers. I fully understand how vital this role is in production development and passionately believe that story is the essential component of any form of narrative media. 

I am competent in the use of movie magic scheduling and budgeting software, and also have certification in Covid-19 supervision, as well as a BAFTA ALBERT award in sustainable film production. I also possess a full and clean UK driving license, along with my own vehicle - an estate/SUV car with a decent passenger and cargo capacity. 

My original industry background is in screenwriting; I have a first class honours degree in script writing and have written a number of feature length screenplays and short films which have been produced and placed in competitions and festivals over the course of a decade. As a writer and producer, I am bent towards the liberation of zero to micro-budget film making, extracting every last drop of goodness possible from the limited resources at my command. To this end, I have learnt to specialise in composing narratives set in one location. The coagulations of my production company, ANTI - STAR, serve as testament to my personal ethic of practical chastity and unique mindset. It has also taught me the importance of effective organisation, and I have learnt to be disciplined and agile at the same time.

Currently, one is moulding an ensemble of feature screenplays and TV shows into fully fleshed out entities, ready to be pitched. I am also assisting Film Expo South in their short screenplay competition, reading and assessing an international variety of submissions.
