Hi, I’m Daryl a freelance filmmaker based in Glasgow for over 17 years. In that time, I have had the pleasure in working with many fantastic companies and projects. For 15 years I have worked freelance with the National Theatre of Scotland as a filmmaker and editor, as well as working regularly with other theatre companies such as Vanishing Point, Barrowland Ballet, Tortoise in a Nutshell, 21 Common, Theatre Gu Leòr, Raw Material, In Motion, Loop Theatre, Lisa Nicoll Productions and Surrogate Productions to name a few, creating trailers, social media clips, archiving performances, rehearsal trailers, vox pops and other promotional material.

I also worked with the Tron theatre as the filmmaker and editor on a film tribute to the poet Edwin Morgan called ‘High Man Pen Meander’ which was awarded five-star reviews in the Guardian and Scotsman.

I love variety, and my job requires me to work with various public and private companies, agencies and content for broadcast. I have directed and shot music videos, films and corporate videos, live events as well as documentaries such as the documentary ‘The Collins Variety Agency’ (Velvet Wolf Films/ BBC2). Another project that I am proud to be involved with is the short film ‘TAM’ (BBC1) were I was nominated for best cinematography at the Amsterdam IFF.

I have most recently shot music videos for both A New International and The Strange Blue Dreams, and also worked as a visual artist with award-winning, German documentary theatre specialists Rimini Protokoll for ‘Dos' and Don’ts’.

And my short film SOCKS, which I wrote and directed, has just finished its festival run where it was screened around the UK, Europe, Asia and America, winning awards including 3 Best Film awards, 9 Best Comedy Awards and 7 Best Director awards as well as 8 other awards for Acting, Costume and Cinematography. We were also lucky enough to have a screening and Q&A at The Iron Mule Short Comedy Film Festival in New York.
