Will Dohrn
Will Dohrn is a self-taught commercial, music video and short film director from Bristol.
Will started his career in television, where he worked as a runner in a post-production house before he moved to join the innovation department at BBC. There he met natural history programme executives to develop new and interesting ways to tell stories and elevate programmes through the use of completely unseen technologies and techniques.
With a keen eye for art, design, cinematography and storytelling, he later took these newfound skills into a more artistic and commercial direction. Will excels at bringing strong visual concept into reel imagery for brands such as Adidas, Adidas, Vans, On Running, Channel 4, A Cold Wall, Etsy, Crack, The Face, AT&T, LAW & Lack Of Guidance and artists such as Little Simz, Mura Masa, Slowthai, Jeshi, Idles, Club Kuru, Erika de Casier.
He has since won awards at the UKMVA, D&AD, 1.4, and has picked up Gold Screen at the Cannes Young Director Awards, whilst racking up a handful of nominations at the Berlin Music Video Awards, Kinsale Shark Awards and the Berlin Fashion Film Awards. He was also shortlisted for the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase in 2020.
Will strives to break conventions by applying his own style and innovation to create new and unseen perspectives on the traditionally ubiquitous.
