Testimonials:

​

"As a DoP on the project I witnessed a professional attitude at all times with a deep respect towards his team and a clarity of style purpose and collaboration with my skills. He is very creative and displays a caring talent towards story telling. In my judgement of 40 years

experience in the film biz Daniel is and will make a great writer director." - Ben Cole, DP.

​

"It was a really pleasant shoot at the film school studios in Benendean.   As the only actor for the shoot I came along well-briefed and happy about what was required.  It was very nice to have a room adjacent to the studio and I was made to feel welcome and comfortable.

Daniel was most professional and organised.  He had a time limit for the studio and therefore needed to work efficiently.  Direction he gave me was good – and I look forward to seeing the final product! I have only good things to say about the film session and would love to work with him again." - Rachel Dobell, Actress

"Daniel was great director to work with. He’s very creative and knows exactly what he wants and how to get that across to his crew. He stretches himself across all departments making sure his vision is preserved. He’s good at keeping moral high on set throughout the day and created a fun atmosphere to work in." - Jack Appleford, Gaffer.

 

"Dan had a strong vision for this project and worked tirelessly co-producing and directing. Working with him as a creative producer was a joy - he was able to communicate his ideas and desires clearly, bounce ideas for props and costumes (as we had to step in and finish this due to personal issues of the costume designer). He was a good team player taking on a lot of extra work when needed. His prep was impressive and while I didn’t see his on-set direction from watching rushes I can clearly see his vision being realised. I know he has a final edit in mind for the material too." - Abi McLoughlin, Producer.

 

“Daniel and I were fortunate to know each other previously, having worked together on a full feature left-field European film (Alice Through the Looking). Coming together on Gandad there was, therefore, a mutual understanding of style and artistic integrity. Significant discussions and pre-production work also ensured clarity for me, as Gandad, what key objectives were. Daniel’s excellent and clear scripting ensured further clarity. This combination of pre-production skills was therefore instrumental on-set in determining accurate and timely scheduling. Further clarity with DOP added to a smooth and entirely professional approach to achieving timely objectives.” - John Locke, Actor
