Portrait of Bradley Dunn

Bradley Dunn, director

The story

Utah to Las Vegas to California and home
  1. 01

    Utah

    He grew up in Utah, where skateboarding put a camera in his hand. Filming his friends was his first lesson in telling a story through a lens, and he never put the camera down.

  2. 02

    Las Vegas

    Seven years freelancing in Las Vegas, honing the craft one job at a time and building a reputation for work that landed.

  3. 03

    Carlsbad

    He moved to California and founded Dunnrite Productions, a full-service production company. Over the next seven years he grew it into a trusted name, producing for brands across every industry that would have him.

  4. 04

    Salt Lake City

    Today the studio works out of Salt Lake City. The energy goes into branded content, commercial work and long-form stories, the kind that connect with an audience and move a brand.

What he does

Different budgets, same standard. A two-person unit chasing a Bronco through the desert, a full set with a lighting package and a lab built to burn, a single quiet interview about type 1 diabetes. He brings in some of the most talented filmmakers he knows, and he is on every one of them himself.

  1. 01

    Directing

    Every project gets a point of view before it gets a shot list. He pitches the idea, and he is the one on set protecting it.

  2. 02

    Cinematography

    Camera cars, cranes, gimbals, a single handheld in a lab. He shoots a lot of his own work and knows exactly what the edit needs before the day is over.

  3. 03

    Editorial

    He cuts. Story, pace, music and the cutdowns for every placement, finished to spec.

  4. 04

    Creative direction

    Concept, script, boards, casting and the look. One person carrying the idea from the pitch deck to the final frame.

What people say

Producers and clients

“A true master of his craft, Brad is the perfect blend of creativity, grit and professionalism. We have travelled the world together making branded content and he is always my first call when I am looking for an amazing director.”

Veronique LouProducer

“When it comes to video production, storytelling and creating a brand message that brings multi-million dollar results, there is nothing that compares to Brad Dunn. There are some that are skilled, less that have become great, and a select few that are called to mastery of their craft. I personally have been the beneficiary of his work in multiple industries and it has not only exceeded expectations, it has provided an unfair advantage in the marketplace.”

Kelly CardenasSpeaker and author

“During my tenure at COTU Media I had the pleasure of working on several high profile projects with Brad in the roles of Director, DP and Editor. Brad brings creativity, enthusiasm and confidence to everything he does. There’s nothing we asked of him that he wasn’t able to execute and elevate. Brad is an asset to any crew that brings him onboard.”
