I Don’t Just Make Films. I Help You Say What Matters.

Written By Daniel Latham

Food Behind Bar - Behind the scenes.

Most people think video is about cameras. Angles. Lighting. A drone shot or two.

But that’s not where I start.

I start with a question:


What outcome are you actually aiming for?

Do you want more sales? More trust in your brand? To change hearts and minds? Or spark action?

Because if we don’t know that, it doesn’t matter how pretty the video looks.

Strategy First. Always.

I run Dan Makes Films — not just a video company, but a creative partner for brands, businesses, and charities who want to make content that works.

Every project starts with outcomes.

Before we touch a camera or write a script, I help you get clear on what you want to happen — and the best way to make it happen.

Sometimes that’s a film.
Sometimes it’s a podcast.
Sometimes it’s helping your team make better content themselves, with what they’ve already got.

Whatever it is, it’s always shaped by strategy.
Not trends. Not guesswork.
Just clear, thoughtful content that works.



How I Work

This isn’t about making flashy content for the sake of it.

It’s about helping you communicate what matters,
and making that process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

That means:

  • Helping you clarify your message and goals

  • Working flexibly around your time, team, and budget

  • Bringing in trusted specialists when needed (editors, camera ops, animators)

  • Creating useful, lasting content you can actually do something with

I’ve worked with brands, businesses, and people with something to say, and the thing they all needed most wasn’t just content.

They needed clarity.
They needed direction.
And they needed someone who could help them cut through the noise.

What You Can Expect

Whether we’re planning, filming, editing or rethinking what content you actually need.

I bring:

  • Calm (when things get messy, I don’t)

  • Honesty (I’ll say what I think will help, not what sounds nice)

  • Reliability (I show up, I care, and I make things happen)

It’s not about volume. It’s about clarity, impact, and getting results. I do purposeful content with a clear job to do.

Let’s Make Something Worth Sharing

This blog is here to help, whether we end up working together or not.

Expect insights on planning smarter content, getting more value from your ideas, and making stuff that actually earns attention.

Got a message that isn’t landing? A story that feels stuck?

Let’s figure it out.
