Documentary Filmmaker | Senior Producer

laughtondan@gmail.com

A London-based documentary filmmaker and senior producer exploring the human condition and the effects of adversity, ambition, passion and change on people, communities and cultures. My work focuses on those shaped by forces beyond their control, and the resilience, motivations and choices that emerge when lives are tested.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked internationally across documentary, editorial and commercial film, exploring cultures, communities and ways of life through intimate, character-led storytelling. I’ve produced and directed films for leading publishers including VICE, BBC and LADbible, as well as global brands, working across international productions, cultural stories and deeply personal human narratives.

I create and publish independent stories through The Human Experience, an ongoing documentary project exploring what it means to be human in an ever-changing world.
