Dylan Harrison Joins Filmgraphics

Filmgraphics has welcomed Dylan Harrison to its roster of Directors. He left DDB as Sydney’s Executive Creative Director in August to pursue his passion for directing. In his words: “As a writer I’ve always been driven by strong ideas, I always will be. But directing is so much more than a great script. Bringing it to life with casting, performance and creating just the right mood and atmosphere – the process can be nothing short of magic. My apprenticeship has been shadowing many great directors throughout my career and I’ve always been hands on. After directing campaigns through DDB for Arnott’s and Volkswagen recently, I knew it was time". 

Commenting on joining the FGE team, Harrison said, "Having worked with the legendary David Denneen and Anna Fawcett on a number of projects over the recent years, I was struck by their professionalism and amassed experience. But above all, it is their restlessness, hunger and continued success at reinventing themselves as the industry evolves so rapidly that draws me to them and their team. Importantly, they work bloody hard but have a great laugh doing it." 

Anna Fawcett, Executive Producer at Filmgraphics Entertainment,  said: “Dylan is creative, sensitive, passionate and a gentleman. All good traits for a director; we like his work thus far, and together we will hopefully produce some great work.” 

DDB Sydney Chief Creative Officer, Toby Talbot, said,” "I’m very excited for Dylan as he’s leaving to follow a dream. That’s a rare thing to do and a brave thing to do. As the writer of some truly iconic ads for DDB over the last 14 years, he leaves with an incredible body of work behind him. In the short time I’ve been at the agency, it's been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Dylan. Long may that continue now he’s a director.”
