Career
Dominic Burns is an English film director, screenwriter, producer and actor. Burns was launched as a director/producer by delivering the world's first single continuous-shot horror movie Cut. This was the first film that Burns directed, wrote, produced and acted in. Cut started Burns' fascination with the “oner” which has become a style he uses in most of his films.
Burns has also written, produced and directed several other British independent films including Devil’s Tower starring Jason Mewes, directed by Owen Tooth; Alien Uprising starring Jean-Claude Van Damme; and Madness in the Method and Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, both starring Jason Mews and Kevin Smith.
In 2022, Burns produced Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose, starring Simon Pegg and Minnie Driver, and 5lbs of Pressure starring Luke Evans, Alex Pettyfer and Rory Culkin which was bought and distributed by Lionsgate. In 2024, he produced The Paralytic starring Johnathan Rhys Meyers, and most recently completed Wildcat, a film he wrote and produced, starring Kate Beckinsale.
