CAUSTIC COASTAL


hello, I'm Dean (aka Caustic Coastal). I make films about making art, following artists and creatives doing extraordinary things. You can find them over here. Updates and short form things are posted on instagram. I also make exhibitions, working with artists to imagine curious or innovative ways of showcasing their work. An archive of curatorial projects is over on Are.na ✶✶. You can chat about collaborations, ideas or commissions via ✉ hello at caustic coastal dot biz. New film projects are always warmly welcomed! •ᴗ•

I have been working with creatives of all types for over a decade, imagining ways to showcase what they do.

What began as a need to document the artistic projects I was making, grew into a fascination for exploring the processes and ideas surrounding the way artists make work.

Each film is an exploration of imagination and curiosity that serves to tell a unique story about a moment in time.

My work has spanned collaborations with artists, musicians, fashion designers, creative brands, and fellow filmmakers, always exploring new ways to create visual stories that resonate.
