Filmmaker, Director & Cinematographer
Hello, I am Danny Dwyer, or sometimes referred to as Dwyski. I direct, shoot, and cut. I've done it full time for a solid 15 years with zero safety net. I was born and raised in Ohio, and with me I brought the Midwest work ethic; respect and understanding for everyone on set, first to show up, and last to leave. 14 years in New York City taught me a bit of everything; directing, lighting, shooting, and editing. Then came a decade in Los Angeles where it all came together.
My camera has been pointed at A-list celebrities, dudes serving life sentences, pop icons, and people like you and me. It’s been on the Olympic podium too, rolling the moment gold, silver, and bronze went around the necks of the best athletes in the world. The lens doesn’t care who’s famous. It cares what’s true. That’s what I chase: beautifully lit, with an intention to always serve the story.
Along the way my work made its way to several premieres from Cannes to Cleveland, campaigns for Google, PUMA, Columbia, ELLE, and Harper's Bazaar. I have worked with everyone from Lady Gaga to Beck, from Post Malone to the neighborhood postman.
Got a story worth telling? I want to hear it.
