“Perdu” Unit Stills Photography
“Perdu” is a gritty crime drama written by Paul Flynn. As the dedicated Unit Stills Photographer, I had the privilege of capturing the intense and gripping moments of this compelling Irish episodic set against the backdrop of a derelict Irish manor home and surrounding woodlands. I also shot key art during the production, which was useful in my poster design afterwards.
Testimonial From Producer Brian Matthews Murphy
I hired Daniel to do BTS on my film and was absolutely delighted with his professionalism and the quality of his work. I will definitely hire him again.

“Perdu” Film Synopsis
“Perdu” takes you on a gripping journey into the heart of a community plagued by a series of mysterious deaths. Officer Reilly and his clumsy young protégé are faced with a chilling case of a serial killer on the loose. As gruesome as the string of murders are, Reilly carries himself like a seasoned detective who has seen it all, but nothing could prepare him for what they would find left inside the latest victims’ remains. This intense narrative explores the depths of suspense, mystery, tragedy, and the ultimate pursuit of justice.
