Largely self-taught, Dohrn has won numerous awards for his commercial and creative work. Having spent his early twenties developing programming for the Natural History Unit of the UK’s historic British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Dohrn cultivated an expert broadcaster’s appreciation for design, cinematography, and storytelling before setting out as an independent filmmaker. Fittingly, his recent work is both visually experimental and narratively accessible. As a music video director, he has worked with a diverse range of critically acclaimed contemporary artists, including Bonobo, Club Kuru, and Slowthai. His video for ‘War’ by post-punk darlings IDLES garnered him a Cannes Young Director Gold Screen, a 2020 UKMVA for best rock music video, a 2021 Design and Art Direction Wood Pencil, and a silver medal at the 1.4 Awards. His technically stunning video for Jeshi’s ‘3210’ (featuring a simulated zoopraxiscope consisting of 4,000 still photos) was selected as a 2022 Vimeo Staff Pack. Dohrn’s recent commercial work includes collaborating with Stella McCartney on an ad for her Falabella Bag (a backpack made of recycled marine plastic), as well as 2021 and 2022 campaign films for high-end streetwear brand A Cold Wall.
