About Us

This is a website and enterprise to showcase the multimedia work I, Dan Slack, have produced.

How did we get here?

Action Film Company (est. 2013)

I set up this YouTube channel to showcase my video media skills. It revolved around my school friends and me doing outdoor activities, with skateboarding being the chief focus.

Unfortunately, there were copyright issues with the soundtracks I used, the friendship group dissolved, and I wanted to focus on still photography for my GCSE at the time. The channel was made defunct in 2016.

(The Action Film Company is still the intellectual property of DS Multimedia Ventures and me. We’ve retained the media produced under this name, but we don’t own the name since it went defunct.)

Dan Slack Photography (est. 2021)

During the COVID-19 pandemic and multiple lockdowns, I was off work as an apprentice car mechanic and a barman. I watched a BBC documentary on the Iraq War (Once Upon A Time In Iraq), having always been fascinated by war. In one episode, a war correspondent and photographer were explaining their involvement and experiences in the conflict. At that moment, I knew that would be my dream job.

After a lot of research and the purchase of a digital camera once again, I decided to design a website to showcase my photography work and my upcoming travel.

Over time, I realised I also wanted to pursue journalism along with photography. The website became a tie; it needed a reinvention to incorporate a broader range of media, so I decided to do a large-scale overhaul and rebrand.

DS Multimedia Ventures (est. 2024)

An eclectic website for all media I have produced, and for my skills to grow.

I am proud of the progression, excited about the new opportunity this will provide and itching to get going on lots of new media in the coming year.
