About
I am Dana Barnaby, an award-winning Director, Cinematographer, and Writer with 30+ years in the film and television industry. I excel at leading large-scale productions, managing crews, developing stories, and delivering high-quality content for major networks and commercial clients. I’m known for strong leadership, creativity, and technical expertise, and I’m an LEO Award winner for Best Cinematography. I’m also a working Voice Over actor with international clients on commercials, character animations and movie trailers.
In addition to directing and cinematography, I actively contribute as a voice actor and collaborator across projects. I thrive in high-pressure environments, turning concepts into compelling visuals, and I enjoy building strong teams from pre-production through post. Based in Vancouver, I’m always open to new opportunities in film, TV, and advertising.
