Darren Sinnott

Hey there,

My name is Darren Sinnott (he/him). I'm an Irish theatre director now living in London. I'm currently studying for a MFA in Theatre Directing at Birkbeck.

Prior to studying I worked for film and theatre production company Smugger (Sing Street the Musical, Once the Musical, The Kid Stays in the Picture) in production and creative development; and for the Public Theater NYC in marketing.

I'm always looking to collaborate on new work so HMU. I've broad experience in film, theatre and VR. Story is the most important element for me - if the script is good (or even if you need help developing), I'm in.
