Danny Gibbons

BIOGRAPHIE

Danny had what many would call a 'late' start in the industry, making his first short film at 27, a creative look at the largely less publicized emotion abuse, Danny quickly found success on the festival circuit with his debut short film 'Mark'd'. Winning the first- and one-off Warner Brothers Short Film Festival, with Tom Hooper calling it a 'powerful and visceral physicalization of a a very real issue'. Mark'd went on to amass nearly 1 million views online across all platforms and has since been included in dozens of Domestic Violence Resource packs across the UK. Danny's follow up short 'Last Dance' was a psychological horror that played with the horror trope of monster lurking in the shadows but put a fresh twist on it incorporating current real- world issues. With a growing number of women fearing to walk alone at night in London due to attacks, Last Dance represents women's fears through the metaphor of a dancing monster. The film went on to have a very successful festival run, being selected and winning awards worldwide including winning the 'Melies D'Argent' at Razorreel Film Festival and culminating in winning the 'Melies D'Or' for Best European Short Film at the prestigious Sitges Film Festival in 2021.
