After graduating from Goldsmiths College Dee kicked of his career in a post production facility as a runner before eventually making his way to senior post production producer. The 8 years he spent at blue saw him not only work on award winning projects for television but he also managed to develop and produce projects of his own on a regular basis. His progress has been steady. All too aware of the clutch of young film makers who arrive and disappear over night, Dee has set his stall out by expressing the importance of “knowing your craft” in order that he has a long and distinguished career in film.


As well as working with the likes of BBC Films, Channel 4 and Blast Films he has developed a strong working relationship with the UK Film Council, Film London and B3 Media who have commissioned him to make films which have enabled him to push on to the next level in his career.


Having written and collaborated on a number of short films and after gaining invaluable experience in the world of post production, he has now flipped his script yet again and is cutting his teeth within the walls of Channel 4 as an on air promotions director. Marrying his eye for a good shot with his avid editing skills Dee finds himself raising his game again to feed his desire to improve in an area where the competition doesn’t phase him.


“I’m friend’s with a lot of people who have a real talent for telling stories or depicting other peoples emotions. I find them really inspiring and we help each other along the way. I also know a few people who call themselves directors and they can’t differentiate between a camera and a boom pole. I find them inspiring as well, the way I see it is if they’re out there making stuff you can bet I’m gonna be out there doing my thing”.


Dee considers himself an ‘independent filmmaker’ above anything else. His aim is to add to the three screenplays he has already written, developing a slate of ideas that will eventually lead to the production of his first feature project.
