Bio & background

Dan French is a London-based commercial and music video director represented globally by Stink Films (UK/US, signed February 2024) and Collider (Australia, signed March 2026). He has directed high-profile campaigns for LEGO's FIFA World Cup 2026 launch uniting Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Vini Jr. as minifigures for Our LEGO Agency and Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam. His commercial portfolio includes Google Pixel (multiple global releases including Pixel 8 and Pixel 9), Meta, Minecraft (DesignRush Best Video Design Award, March 2026), Adidas, McDonald's, KFC, Nike, Burberry (Festive Hero, Lunar New Year), and Emporio Armani FW25. French blends technical craft with narrative storytelling and deadpan comedy, often working at the intersection of performance, VFX, and cultural commentary. His music video work includes a Vimeo Staff Pick for Jianbo's 'For the Honour' (self-animated), Elton John's 'Step into Christmas' featuring Cara Delevingne, and videos for Central Cee, Stereophonics, and Nothing But Thieves. He earned a Kinsale 'Best New Director' nomination, Silver 1.4 Award for short film 'Invisible People,' and British Arrows recognition. With a photography background, French brings meticulous attention to detail, mixed media expertise, and high-intensity editing to every project, while maintaining that technique always serves story.
