Darren O'Connell was born in Watford, United Kingdom on the 8 October,
1984. Although neither of his parents worked in the film industry, his
Grandad on his mothers side had worked as a Sound Mixer/Recordist till
his death when Darren was just nine and his Uncle continues to work as
an Assistant Director. Through the kindness and support of the relevant
relations; Darren managed to do work experience at 16 on Tomb Raider at
Pinewood Studios, UK. Not till 2004 did Darren, due to school/sixth
form commitments manage to start doing dailies on various things, over
time work became more consistent as people began to see he was driven
and dedicated regardless of nepotism being a factor for a way in.
Darren has continued to crack on for years as a runner and slowly is pushing as A Third Assistant Director.
