Director

Dom graduated from University in Manchester in 1996, specializing in Film and TV (so his early training was old school BBC style) and was the winner of the Kodak Eastman Award. After directing his first series of commercials he joined Tony Kaye Films in London in 1998 and shot commercials for IKEA, HMV (Shots 16), Norwich Union, Pot Noodle and a Starsky and Hutch Promo. After a short spell at 400films Dom relocated to Dublin, joining Toytown films (VW, KIT KAT, WALLS) where he was their main commercial director for three years. In late 2000 Dom joined Russell Avis Productions directing commercials for VodaFone, McDonalds, Surf and NTL.

Thus far Dom has directed over 150 commercials, ranging from PSAs to full campaigns, with some of the world's leading brands. As a DnAD craft award winner (IMPERIAL LEATHER), Dom is able to adapt to any script and has shot virtually every aspect of production and every genre of commercial. His best work would veer towards comedy and performance with great casting.

Dom is also represented by Chief Productions in the UK.
