Dan Emmerson’s laser eye for cinematic detail and skill at drawing authentic performances from actors and documentary subjects alike underpin his reputation as a vital British filmmaking talent. His mini-series ‘Finding Liverpool’ for Expedia and ‘Uncovered’ for Samsung both demonstrate these talents and underscore Dan’s ability to tap into subcultures. Whereas his comic EE advert ‘Parent Duty’ is pure, relatable joy.

The multifaceted director is renowned for mixing archival material with contemporary footage to craft resonant portraits of subcultures, such as in ‘Where Were You’ – an experimental portrait of pre-Brexit Britain for The Face. Dan’s skillset also extends to animation as illustrated by his The Specials promo ‘Vote For Me’, which was awarded Gold for animation at Ciclope.

Dan’s further commercial clients include: Loewe, Prostate Cancer UK, Burberry, Children in Need, H&M and Oakley, Amazon TV, and Art Fund.
