Outside of college he got together with a group of like minded filmmakers and they made many short films and sketches in their own time.
After college Dan became a theatrical producer’s assistant and continued for over 7 years. This lead to assistant directing work for the producer and to date Dan has been partially responsible for 9 musical productions and 6 Pantomimes.
In 2006 Dan set up Freestyle Productions as he wanted to create a way to showcase new and undiscovered talent. This was launched by a film and stage production of ‘Consequences’ and has since made a variety of short films and promos. ‘Jericho’s Walls are Falling’ will be Freestyle’s second feature film and Dan can also be seen playing Jericho’s best friend Steve.
