Dan is a British director based in Mexico City working in commercials, digital content and film. Born in the seaside bohemia of Brighton, Dan was drawn to filmmaking at an early age due to his father sharing this profession.

Dan has a wide range of experience working in different formats and genres of commercials, be it filming Mustang Shelbys tear through Pueblos Mágicos; or point-of-view travel experiences from yachts to deep jungle; or pulling sincere performances out of non-acting children; or striking visuals for fashion brands; Dan is a keen problem-solver and the juxtaposition in his cultural background brings an unique perspective to his work. Dan also works as a screenwriter for film and television, most recently as a writer on an original series for HBO.
