In June 2021, Dan completed his third short film #ALLTHATGLITTERS — a drama fantasy starring Sophia Myles and Alec Newman that tackles the issue of domestic violence through the story of two disparate strangers from across the class divide, whose paths cross by chance, and whose lives are changed forever.
The film was shot in London in October 2020 during the pandemic and in-between national lockdowns.
It has now garnered over 50 international film festival selections and 30 awards including most recently BEST DIRECTOR and BEST DRAMA at “Love Your Shorts” in Florida. We'll keep you posted on its progress here and at Buckle Up Entertainment.

— July 2024 : Buckle Up Entertainment has signed an exclusive international distribution deal for "All That Glitters" with Salaud Morisset whose vocation is to discover and launch emerging filmmakers.
Based in Berlin and Paris, Salaud Morisset has become a leading name in the production and sales of short films. Its highly selective line-up includes shorts from Yorgos Lanthimos, Jonathan Glazer, Molly Manning Walker and Wei Shujun, and they are now also moving into features and have recently acquired the rights to the extensive catalogue of auteur Wim Wenders.
Salaud Morisset has been instrumental in spreading the word about new talent and helping to break the careers of directors such as Molly Manning Walker whose award-winning short “Good Thanks, You?” and her subsequent critically acclaimed debut feature "How To Have Sex" were both an official selection of Cannes in 2020 and 2023 respectively.
