DANIEL WOLFE (PICTURED PREVIOUS PAGE) Writer-director In the promo for The Shoes’ internet sensation ‘Time to Dance’, an intense Jake Gyllenhaal pulls an American Psy- cho on east London’s dance scene in a grim yet compelling music video-meets- short-film. The man behind it is Man- chester-born director Daniel Wolfe, who writes with his brother Matthew. Their screenplay Catch Me Daddy is in devel- opment at Film4, with Mike Elliott set to produce through his Emu Films. Shooting is set for Yorkshire this autumn, with StudioCanal discussing the acquisition of UK rights and Ben Drew (aka Plan B) attached to star. Wolfe has a strong relationship with the musician and director, having shot the award-winning video series for Plan B’s The Defamation Of Strickland Banks album. Though signed to Partizan in 2006 (and Somesuch & Co in 2010), 32-year-old Wolfe still felt compelled to return to study, graduating with an MA in screenwriting from the Royal Hollo- way University of London in 2009. Wolfe started his working life as a chef
in Manchester. It was while travelling in Vietnam that he saw a poster about Phil- lip Noyce’s The Quiet American and joined the film’s production department. And it is only in the past decade that Wolfe has worked his way up from being a runner in Soho to where he is now, “primed and ready to go”.
