About

I’m Dan Read, a video editor and videographer with 15 years of experience shooting and cutting branded, broadcast, and digital content. I focus on short-form social, UGC-style edits, and long-form content—built for the platform, the brand, and the deadline—so the final piece looks sharp, tells a clear story, and performs.

I’ve shot and edited content for brands including Sony, BMW and Sega, and I also bring a filmmaker’s eye shaped by years in broadcast, documentary, and commercial production. From fast turnaround work to delivery aligned with strict brand guidelines, I’m confident taking projects from planning through post and finishing with clean, platform-ready outputs.
