What I make.

I am Dan Mannes, and dmanproductions LLC is my one-person production company in Detroit, Michigan. I shoot, direct, edit, and color commercial and documentary work for brands, teams, and foundations. Fifteen years in, I still see every project through myself, start to finish.

Most new productions are now booked through Detroit Picture Company. The services below describe what I make. For a project booked directly with me, you can pay your invoice here.
