Dan Emmerson’s eye for cinematic detail and skill at drawing authentic performances from actors and documentary subjects underpin his reputation as a vital British filmmaking talent. His work for Perplexity and NUFC x adidas both demonstrate these talents. While ‘Made of Here’ for BBC, underscores Dan’s emotional maturity as a director.
The multifaceted filmmaker is renowned for mixing archival material with contemporary footage to craft resonant portraits of subcultures, such as in the seminal ‘Where Were You’ – a poignant reflection 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, Samsung, Specsavers, Expedia, Children in Need, Oakley and Art Fund.
