SHORT CUT FILMS

Short Cut Origins
Daniel Smith is a highly respected photographer, videographer and creative director whose career in film and television spans nearly 30 years. He began his journey behind the lens on the set of the iconic Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, capturing the raw energy and style that defined a generation of British cinema.
His work on Snatch cemented his reputation for crafting cinematic, behind-the-scenes imagery that tells the story beyond the script — a hallmark of his distinctive style.
Since then, Daniel has built a prolific career working on some of the most memorable productions in film and television, collaborating with world-class directors, actors, and brands. As the head of Shortcut Films, he continues to lead with the same passion and precision that launched his career, ensuring every frame tells a story worth remembering.
