Hi, my name is Danny, but in the production world I go by the name of Drey. I am an aspiring Filmmaker/Photographer from the Southside of Chicago, IL. Filmmaking and story telling have always been a passion of mine. In fact, it was such a passion that I went and received a degree in it. After graduating from UIC with a BFA in Filmmaking, I went on to also study at the infamous Second City in improvisation and comedy writing. That was just the beginning.
Over the last decade, I have had has had the privilege to work with wonderful production companies; Rhapsody Chicago Productions and Emerging Light Media. Within this time I have had the ability to improve on my craft and gain experience in multiple programs such as Final Cut X, Photoshop, Premier, and DaVinci Resolve. Opportunities would then arise from my time with these production houses, allowing me to work for incredible clients such as Dorma, C2E2 Comic Con, Roscoe’s Bar, DVM Podcast Empire, House of Blues, Crossfit Brick Chicago, and Columbia College’s Blues Kids.
From there I had my biggest opportunity come in the form of getting a career experience though Apple to make internal videos for the Chicago Land market. Over the last few years, I have made product launch videos, business focused material, and celebratory achievement videos.
“Sometimes reality is too complex. Stories give it form”
While staying busy, I have gone on to form my own Digital Media Based Company, Dreamt Realities. Dreamt focuses in on digital shorts, narrative film, photography, and graphic design. My goals is to continue to improve and learn from experience and opportunities until I am the best at what I love to do.
