Creative Bio
Don Dingas has been working professionally in the entertainment industry since the age of sixteen, when he first stepped in front of the camera, performing in local commercials and television shows. As his career flourished, Don discovered that he also had a strong interest in production, and especially, directing and cinematography.
Quite naturally, Don found himself eager to learn more about cameras and directing, and so, it wasn't long before he founded DFT Audio Visual, Inc., a full service entertainment production company. Don began producing television programming for PBS, along with, hundreds of television commercials for, American Express, Anderson Consulting, KPMG, Comcast, the United States Army, American Cancer Research, CBS, ABC, World Television News, BBC London, Allstate, Anheuser-Busch, Johnson & Johnson, Israeli Television, and many more.
Alongside of his busy work schedule in corporate and entertainment programming, Don has also found time to continue his passion for the arts, and has produced three feature films, and two national award-winning documentaries, with focus on environmental awareness. As a result, his skills in producing, directing, writing, acting, cinematography, editing, and even, composing, have all grown exponentially. Don has become quite the multi-hat wearing filmmaker, and an expert in telling a compelling story that mesmerizes the audience.
Don's newest effort, his third feature film, is entitled, "AURORA 663". It is a shining example of his keen story telling skills. It is also an action-packed Science Fiction movie, which is currently enjoying a successful award gathering film festival run, both domestically and overseas.
Don has proven himself again and again to be a highly motivated, impressively savvy, and incredibly gifted professional filmmaker and actor, who has many projects in various stages of production. And who always has an eye out for that next great project. Don accredits his many successes to staying grounded and treating the work with respect. And he plans to continue enjoying his love of film making, and the thrill of acting, for a very long time to come.
