Dar Dowling
Filmmaker, Author & Artist | Founder of DarMa Productions
Dar Dowling is an award-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, artist, and the founder of DarMa Productions.
A storyteller across mediums, Dar has built her creative career around work that explores identity, relationships, belonging, and the complicated, sometimes beautifully strange ways people move through the world.
As a filmmaker, her work spans documentary and narrative storytelling, including Here I Am, Hineni, By Any Means, DoubleTake, Hey Mom, What’s Sex?, and Apocalection. Her approach is instinctive and intimate, with a particular interest in the moments people don’t—or can’t—script.
That same sensibility runs through her fiction and visual art. Whether she’s behind a camera, writing a book, or creating something that doesn’t fit neatly into a category, Dar is drawn to work with a point of view—stories that take risks, challenge expectations, and aren’t afraid to get a little messy.
Based in New York City, Dar continues to develop film, literary, and visual projects through DarMa Productions.
The medium may change. The impulse doesn’t: find the story worth telling, and tell the hell out of it.
