Lets work together

Services

Directing

Whether you're a screenwriter, producer, or content creator I want to help you bring your story to life. From short films to reels, I love supporting creatives in actualizing their vision.

Story Consultant

I will sit down and help you enhance your script beat by beat. I will never change your story; instead, I try to help you realize the story you want to tell.

Actor Coaching

As an accomplished director, I've developed a skill for working with actors, but I'm also a member of SAG-AFTRA and have performed in 30 films, so I know exactly what it takes.

What folks are saying about working with Derek:

Derek possesses an infectious energy that inspires and makes you believe. Every session we explored my script, I left with new ideas and confidence in the work we were producing. Derek has perfected the craft of offering critique in the spirit of helping you achieve your vision rather than substituting your taste and style for his own. I'm a better writer after working with him.

I've had the pleasure of working with Derek Dow on several memorable and some award winning projects. To say he has a strong voice and vision for every piece we've collaborated on is an understatement. It's beyond that. Derek's talent as a director and his innate gift at understanding story shines through every lens and every page. You hear him, feel his style and connect deeply with whatever medium he is working in.
