Dan Cassell

I have been writing and developing screenplays for nearly ten years. It is a craft which I adore; what some may see as constrictions and limitations in writing for the screen, when compared, for example to prose, I wholeheartedly embrace, calling upon my own powers of imagination to overcome the challenges associated with this hard to master art form. I have sought to achieve this by honing a very vivid, visual style in my own particular approach to script writing.

As my own writer's journey has evolved, I have gone from writing short, sub-ten page narratives to full length feature length odyssey's. Much of the work I have scribed has been looked at with views to future development and production. I continue to write every day; to call oneself a true 'writer'​ there can be no other approach.

I have also completed a number of freelancing script reading assignments, both for individuals and production houses. I am always eager to collaborate with any directors, producers and cinematic movers and shakers who have scripts, treatments (or even just ideas) they are looking to nurture, develop and film. I will happily provide a qualified and professional feedback of any material they'd like read through, and provide a detailed and constructive critique in order to move the project forward.

Since 2009 my production company, Anti-Star Cinema, has turned out a number of micro-to-zero budget shorts. (Please see vimeo link above for a showcase of completed films.)

In order to add a greater understanding of the character building process, I also have been worked on and developed my acting skills, having in the past studied under the tutelage of Hollywood actor Nick Meaney's ACTA school of dramatic performance.
