DirectorFounder

Blake Davis

Blake Davis is a director, cinematographer, and photographer working between New York and Los Angeles, and the founder of Dreamtone. He built the studio on one idea: keep the whole process, from first pitch to final cut, under one roof.

He makes work with a purpose. For two decades, across London, Jerusalem, Paris, and New York, he has documented people living outside the mainstream. His series Room 1014 follows an artist’s fight to keep his home at the Hotel Chelsea, and after its first episode, the story spread to the press, including the New York Post. His artwork is featured in the documentary Style Wars 2. His footage is licensed worldwide through Getty Images under the name Blake Dvs.

Alongside the films, he sells his “Empty Streets of NYC” photographs as fine-art prints, painted a commissioned mural for the Beverly Hills offices of Above The Clouds, and produces for Signature Tracks.
