Darren Maxwell - What others have said...

"I think the real key is patience. I played a role in a film directed by Darren, and though it was only a small role he really took the time to sit down with me and the two other guys in the scenes – explain where it fit into the film, address any script questions, how it should be played, whether there’s any post production FX we need to react to. He was aware of the fact we were giving up our free time to act in this film."

"…I learned a lot from just observing how Darren worked."

Scott Middlebrook: Writer, Sound Designer

*************************

"If I ever need a Director, the first and only choice for me is Darren. He keeps his actors informed about what is happening, he is really concerned about the well being of people in (masked) costumes and he gets the job done with great results."

"The man is a true master of the art and a great craftsman."

Chris Brennan: Actor/Writer/Producer - Nilm Films

*************************

"Darren Maxwell is a thorough, professional and a very easy Director to get on with. His favourite saying is that 'there is no substitute for quality'".

"Working with Darren now on several projects as his DOP has been a joy. The rapport is uncanny at times because we think like each other. I am about to suggest a shot, and Darren is about to suggest the same thing. It is the best Director / DOP relationship I have ever had."

"Darren is one of the best Directors I have ever worked with, his organisational skills and attention to detail are amazing."

Shane Mengaziol: Director of Photography

"It was a real pleasure and a real learning experience for me, even after 20 years in Actors Equity and dozens of stage plays and short films, to work with a visionary Director like Darren Maxwell, and rise to the challenge of his ingenious approach to film making.
