About me

About Me

Hi, I'm Dermot Fleming, a passionate and dedicated Spark and Gaffer with over 10 years of experience in the world of independent filmmaking. My journey in the film industry began with a deep love for storytelling and a fascination with the technical side of bringing visual narratives to life.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects, including feature films, television series, adverts, and music videos. Each project presents its own unique challenges, and I thrive on finding creative solutions to ensure that the director’s vision is realized on screen. Whether it's crafting the perfect lighting setup for a moody scene or ensuring seamless electrical support on set, my goal is to enhance the visual storytelling with precision and creativity.

Collaboration is at the heart of what I do. The best results come from working closely with the entire crew, from the director and cinematographer to the production team. I'm committed to creating a positive and efficient working environment where creativity can flourish.

When I'm not on set, I am actively pursuing online education to become a fully qualified electrician.

The importance of lighting cannot be overstated—it tells the story, conveys emotion, and creates a world.

— Conrad Hall

Without proper lighting, you don’t have cinema. Lighting creates the image, and the image is cinema.
