ABOUT
Venice Beach–based filmmaker, brings a visceral edge and dynamic visual language to everything he shoots, blending authenticity, style, and humanity into a singular point of view.
His love of advertising started early, waking up at dawn to watch the English Premier League, as drawn to the iconic adverts & brands as the matches themselves.
Dane gravitates toward work that sticks. The kind that hits you in a subtle way and stays there. He cares about craft and precision, but not for the sake of it. Everything he does is in service of the human story at the center, the real emotion that makes it all matter.
Endless curiosity and a genuine fascination with people drive him.
A lifelong surfer, he’s chased waves around the world, immersing himself in new cultures and landscapes, a path that led him to study on Australia’s Gold Coast.
Now back in the US, working with top brands and agencies, Dane knows the industry inside & out. He pushes to create great work with a curated team of artists.
While developing and shooting a slate of Film\TV projects, commercials remain Dane’s creative playground. Every brief a chance to turn an idea into a feeling.
