His first independent short film, The Extra, went on to win 2nd Prize and Best Actress gongs at Tropfest, and was nominated for two AFI Awards, including Best non-Feature Film.
In 2003 Darren completed the Icon Productions feature film Thunderstruck, which he directed and co-wrote. Currently He went on to direct a second feature entitled, Razzle Dazzle which garnered much acclaim. In between ads he dabbles in TV series work for Australian networks.
In 2005 at the Cannes Festival for Advertising, Darren was the only director from Australia and New Zealand who had two spots short-listed as finalists.
Darren continues to dazzle as a comedy director in great demand.
