About Darren

While running a multi-award winning graphic design agency in London, I took part in the Straight 8 competition. Seeing my film projected in front of a festival audience and hearing the mix of laughter and (positive) repulsion, I was itching to make another. Since then I have been honing my craft as a screenwriter and director, made numerous award winning shorts, brand films and designing the story of my first feature - which I intend to write and direct.
