Whether as the most bespoke gift money can buy, or a personal indulgence, Emmy-nominated director Dan Howlett will turn your life story into a film to be cherished for generations..
THE Vérité VISION
From Brooklyn to London, Verite Studios brings world-class storytelling to your love story.
After a decade directing in Brooklyn, New York, Emmy-nominated filmmaker Dan Howlett returned to London to establish Vérité Studios. He has conducted tens of thousands of hours of interviews — with global celebrities and everyday people alike — and shaped them into unforgettable stories for Disney+, HBO Max, Channel 4, Netflix, and more.
Now, together with his handpicked crew of cinematographers and editors, Dan brings the same level of filmmaking to you. With lights, cameras, and a master storyteller guiding you through interviews, vérité moments, and cinematic sequences to create a biographical documentary about your life.
This is filmmaking at its highest level with each Vérité Studios film creating a cinematic legacy crafted to be treasured for generations.
THE Vérité APPROACH
Where broadcast craft meets personal storytelling.
Every Vérité Studios commission is bespoke — but they all follow the same creative path as any documentary that gets the green light.
We start with a private consultation, then move into creative development with production meetings, story sessions, outline and story boards.
When filming begins, our team of world-class cinematographers, sound designers, and lighting artists will be led by Dan to capture your story with the precision and intimacy that define our work.
In post, we shape every frame with cinematic rhythm and emotion — creating a 4K documentary that can be enjoyed for generations.
OUR PREVIOUS WORK
Becoming was a Disney+ series where Emmy-nominated director Dan Howlett sat down with global icons like Candace Parker, Nick Kroll, and Julianne Hough to uncover the stories behind their rise to fame.
Each interview was intimate, emotional, and cinematic — the same storytelling craft now brought to Vérité Studios.
Prophet Town is Dan’s own feature documentary. It tells the gripping story of a small American town fighting to reclaim its freedom from the control of cult leader Warren Jeffs.
This is vérité filmmaking at its most raw and powerful — the same uncompromising craft we bring to your story.
