Darren Doane (born 1972) is an American filmmaker, actor, and music video director.[1] In 2007, Doane formed a new commercial, music video and branded content production company called LEVEL4 with Executive Producer . LEVEL4 has produced and edited projects for a client list that includes Toyota, Hurley/Nike, Saatchi & Saatchi, Atlantic Records, JBL and Universal Records.[2] He started his early music video work with Ken Daurio and directed several early Blink-182 music videos.
Prior to directing commercials and music videos, Darren also directed two live action short film adaptations of the Malibu Comics superheroes Hardcase (a six-minute music video style promo starring British kickboxer Gary Daniels) and Firearm (a 35-minute-long movie which served as a prequel to the actual comic, and came as a VHS packaged alongside specially ordered copies of the comic's #0). In fact, in Hardcase #1 there's a single panel in-joke referencing a "D. Doane" as being the director of "Hardcase: The Movie."
