Will Dohrn is a music video, short film, and commercial director from Bristol.

Below are Will’s selects for influential works:

Documentary Short
The Lift by Marc Isaacs
2001

My favorite observational doc. Still inspires me now. So many powerful stories and personalities condensed into one block of flats.

Campaign
‘Welcome Home’ Apple by Spike Jonze
2018

Hydraulic pivoting sets, in-camera stretching / bending of walls, FKA Twigs, all choreographed in such a great way. Fantastic stuff.

Campaign
‘Pylon’ Channel 4 by Russell Appleford
2004

I’ve loved a lot of the Channel 4 Idents over the years, including the 2014 Film 4 indents and the Glazier ones as well. The Pylon perspective shift hit the spot on the first watch.

Creative Short
Rubber Johnny by Chris Cunningham
2005

Film
Last of the Mohicans by Michael Mann
1992

My favorite score in a film. Wes Studi as Magua is incredible in this. Fell in love with this film as a kid.

Film
The Silence of the Lambs by Jonathan Demme
1991

Buffalo Bill scenes are so good. I was tied between Fiennes in Red Dragon.

Film
The Banshees of Inisherin by Martin McDonagh
2022

Got to put a Martin McDonagh in here. Loved this.

Film
ExMachina by Alex Garland
2015

Not much I don’t love about this film. Great score by Geoff Barrow. Love the Turing test scenes. The notions around sentience become chilling in this film.

Music Video
‘Oblivion’ Grimes by Emily Kai Bock & Claire Boucher
2012
Music Video
‘All Is Full of Love’ Björk by Chris Cunningham
1997
