Known for bringing feature-level craft to fast-paced microdrama production, he’s earned industry recognition as the “King of Vertical Drama in the UK” by Duanju News and has been featured in The Guardian, Deadline, Variety, and Global Brands Magazine. With a strong grasp of data-driven storytelling and audience engagement, Dan has recently completed international shoots in Italy and Canada, been named on Open Gardens’ Ones to Watch list, and is now developing new projects with studios aimed at pushing the boundaries of vertical storytelling. He is also working with established producers and casting directors to build a framework that enables broadcasters to confidently enter the space, while putting clear protections in place for cast and crew. - Open Gardens, 2025 https://www.houseofcreate.co.uk/Vertical-Posters Tue, 28 Apr 2026 11:06:09 +0000 House of Create https://www.houseofcreate.co.uk/Vertical-Posters <img width="1024"
